* PRINTER CONTROL

During terminal emulation, Kermit controls the printer according to escape
sequences received from the host, including the following for
VT102/220/320 emulation:

  ESC [ 5 i    Begin transparent print (send port characters to printer)
  ESC [ 4 i    End transparent print
  ESC [ ? 5 i  Begin autoprint (send screen lines to printer)
  ESC [ ? 4 i  End autoprint

Kermit also lets you use Ctrl-Print Screen to turn the printer on and off
during terminal emulation.  The following command affects all these operations:

SET PRINTER <filename, PRN, or NUL>
  Sends Connect mode printer material to the indicated file instead of to the
  standard DOS printer name PRN; this is a "print to disk" option.  SHOW LOG
  displays the current filename (defaults to PRN).

If you press Print Screen (no Ctrl), DOS gets the request itself, Kermit never
sees it so the SET PRINTER command does not affect Print Screen.
