           Summary: Honor VT100 Remote Printing Sequences
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: fd0man gmail com


Version:           1.6.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Konsole does not honor the VT100 terminal requests for "start printing output" and \
"end printing output."  Konsole does allow for printing of the screen contents at a \
point in time, however, it doesn't allow for remotely controlled VT100 printing \
(e.g., through Lynx or a custom printing script.

It should allow the user to print the raw contents of whatever is attempted to be \
printed, through to the printer (without filtering, if possible -- though I don't \
know if it is possible to by-pass the printer filters for things like text and the \
like).  Ideally, if I'm ssh'd into a server somewhere through a Konsole session, I \
should be able to pipe a raw text file or PostScript document into a shell printing \
script and it should work.

The unsupported terminal sequences are "^[[5i" ("ESC [5i" -- Printing begin) and \
"^[[4i" ("ESC [4i" -- Printing finish).  These can be found on \
http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/vt100/ under the Printing section, \
named "Print controller off" and "Print controller on".

When the terminal receives the begin printing command, all future output should be \
directed to the printer set as the default on the user's computer, until the terminal \
encounters the end printing command.  I will procure a test script shortly that can \
be used to demonstrate the functionality (or lack of, rather) of this feature in \
Konsole. _______________________________________________
