Ten thousand and one apologies if this is off-topic (hard to tell with
this group), but,

How do you print out to a printer stream in c?

I don't actually think it is, if you follow it closely enough,
for long enough.

How do you print out to a printer stream in c?

There is no such thing as a printer stream in C, so no you can't.

Yes, it's off topic; it depends on the system.

You do whatever is necessary on your system to make the printer
appear as a text stream. That part is off-topic here, being system
dependant. Having done so, you will have a suitable <name> to
use. You can then:

FILE *f = fopen(<name>, "w");

if (f) goaheadandwriteto(f);

Open the printer with fopen(); write to the printer with fprintf().

Open the printer with fopen(); write to the printer with fprintf().

That may not be possible on all systems; the printer isn't necessarily
available via a file name.
