Spooling to a printer attached to a terminal port

[Hendrik Vermooten]

Hi, all.

My ARNET multi-port card can do this by creating a "pseudo-tty" that you
can spool to. You set this up by giving it ESC codes to switch printer to
print-thru mode, and to switch it back to normal mode. You can even tell
it what max percentage of the bandwidth it may use for the printer, so you
can control the amount of interference with your terminal session.

My question is this: is there a way this can be done if you have a port
card that does not have this feature?
