Print off a calender for the year
Authored by: red6rick on Feb 09, '05 10:47:48AM
As a command line junkie (Hi, my name is Rick, and I've been typing for 30 years...), using a wonderful unix tool to produce output to move text into a GUI program to print seems to border on heresey. Instead, you should use the tool "enscript" which takes any text sent to it, or any plain text file specified on the command line, formats and prints it on the default printer. So the entire operation to print a calendar becomes:

cal -y | enscript
with no mouse involved.
