Answer 1

Hi. From the web:

(From C++): Use the ostream class (cout is an ostream) This should work for both a CONSOLE and a Windows application.

Advantages: Easy printing of simple text.

Disadvantages: Can only print to local printer.

Code:

filebuf fb( "prn:" ); // Filebuf object attached to "prn:"
filebuf fb( "prn:" ); // Filebuf object attached to "prn:"
cout = &fb; // fb associated with cout
cout << "testing"; // Text goes to PRN: not stdout
