Hello,
I've been looking around for an answer to this feature -- in a few cases I
found a user who asked this question but who had his answers closed out on
him rather than being taken as a bug report (or a feature request).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/155935
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/234518
As I've got some English skills, I'll pose it.
I'd like to get passthrough-printing working in Gnome-terminal. I'm using
whatever version of Gnome is installed in the latest as of this time
(11/13/2008) version of Ubuntu (which includes GNOME Terminal 2.24.1.1).
For those unaware, Passthrough Printing is a neat ability of terminal
emulation applications to send a "printer on" and "printer off" ANSI
escape code. It's found in most terminal emulators, up to and including
Putty, SecureCRT, VtyNet, as well I believe as "xterm" and a few others.
I'm more than willing to help contribute my experience getting this to
work on other platforms.
If there's an alternate terminal app I could be using, please let me know
what it is. Xterm just isn't configurable enough and resizable enough (I
can resize an xterm but I can't tweak the other options easily, such as
font size or colors) to work for me.
This is probably a fairly easy feature to add, for what it's worth...just
buffer when you see those escape codes, and chunk it to a print dialog.
