[Konsole-devel] [Bug 127285] New: Honor VT100 Remote Printing Sequences

Michael,

indeed the sequences are unsupported. Originally, i did not include this command,
because i thought the application would be rare and chances are that you get a
deranged terminal it the printing-finish command does not occur. I would now hesitate
for other reasons, as i found virtually any application i learned about an to multiplex
the terminal for various purposes risking to stumble into security issues.

Normally, you can help yourself with the "tee" command.

... and this, i believe, is the point. Why not using a proper remote printer for your task?
