    The simplest way to print something in Linux would be to load it into an existing application and use it's print function - it allready has the code to do that.

    No, he's not - nor is anyone else - going to write it for you. He just said it's a very complicated process. What makes you think people have time to dedicate to spoon feeding you a program?

    At the very least you have to a) find a library that provides this functionality, and b) link with that library and use it in your program. And no, I'm not going to post an example.

    But that does not involve C++ programing? Does it?

    I'm less concerned about that attitude than I am the prevailing one among beginners, that the way to learn is to ask someone to do all of your work for you. What is going on in our schools?

    I meant, that you just used an existing program lpr.
    While you were asking for, how to do it using C++.

    Now if you want it C++ way, you can use system() function.
    I hope Google will tell you more.
