    Linux gcc file printer output

    I've created a binary output file with a Linux gcc program.
    How do I get the program to use the printer to create a
    hard copy? Do I use system() calls or write a Bash script,
    or is there an easier way? I'm assuming that the Linux
    system is set up for printing. This program runs on
    the command line ( no graphics ) and uses curses.
    Perhaps there is a web site with this information?

    Gee, ya think!?

    Perhaps start by opening "/dev/lp" and see how you go from there?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
