<div dir="ltr">Here is a very simple python script which will send a file to stdout with the proper esc sequence for the terminal to see it as a print job. I don't recommend testing it with anything other than small text files. I did notice that screen seems to "work". I do have a much "better" version of the bellow script which has a lot of error checking and actually reads the file in small chunks while writing it to stdout. But this one gets the idea across very quickly.<div>
