Printing

E-mail Print

AbsoluteTelnet/SSH supports screen printing initiated by the user as well as passthru printing sent from the host.  Printing options are available on the Options->Properties->VTOptions dialog.

Screen Printing 

AbsoluteTelnet provides two different methods of printing. To print, click the printer icon on the tool bar or go to file->print. Then either select "Screen" or "Selection". If "Screen" is chosen, then the application will print what appears in the terminal window. To print a specific selection of text, highlight the desired text (incorporating scrolling, if desired), go to the print window, and choose "Selection". The application also includes the Windows standard printer selection box.

Passthru Printing

AbsoluteTelnet supports 'passthru printing' which is print data that is sent directly from the host.  By default, this data will be printed on the default printer, but this can be changed via the "passthru printing" options on the Options->Properties->VTOptions page.  You can redirect the passhthru printing data to a file, a serial port, or to a preassigned printer.  You can even bypass the printer driver and have the raw data sent directly to the printer.

I've tried lots of different telnet/ssh clients, and I have two long-time favorites: Putty and Absolute Telnet. Putty, because it's such a quick download that on someone else's machine i can run it without going through an install, and it runs ssh. But for my own machine, the only choice is Absolute Telnet. It stores my password, terminal appearance and connection settings so that it's literally 2 seconds from clicking the icon to being logged in to my remote ssh accounts. It's incredibly customizeable, but not overwhelmingly so. I hardly ever pay for software (I'm embarassed to say), but I like Absolute Telnet so much I've paid for the full version and I'm glad I did. It's important to note that this software is maintained by one guy, Brian Pence, who personally answers people's questions on his online forum and answers email inquiries (he's answered a couple of mine, and always been really helpful). I gotta say, you hardly ever get this kind of commitment and personal touch in software anymore. --Ben Wheeler
