Hi guys,
I have an inkjet printer connected to my Powerbook. I would like to copy a printer file made on my Amiga to the printer. The Amiga doesn't have a USB port so I have to first transfer the file to the Mac and then send it to the printer.

I've tried dragging the file to my printer, on the Mac, but get an error message asking for the name of the application. Of course, the app. doesn't exist on the Mac.

Can I go to the Unix terminal window and copy the file to the printer port? If so, what would be the command line, and what is the name of the printer port?

Thanks for your help.
Dave
