Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make TinyTERM work like any other web page when printing. Specifically, typing ^P should print everything from the beginning of the session to the current screen, rather than just the current screen.

In Windows NT, 2000 or XP, open the Control Panel. Go to the Display applet and select Settings. Click the Advanced button. If the Font Size drop-down is set to Large Fonts, the CenLPDstatus.exe program will open, but you won’t be able to make any changes. This is related to the way Visual Basic handles large fonts.

You may need one set of printer settings when printing the TinyTERM screen, and a different set of settings when transparent printing. This cannot be set in TinyTERM. In particular, you may want to bypass the printer drivers for transparent printing, but not for print screen.

The workaround is to map a key to the following COMMAND:

te.printermode=20;te.printscreen();te.printermode=180;

This turns off the Bypass printer drivers option in Printer Setup, prints the screen, then turns the option back on. Change “180” to “148” in the command if Add Form Feed is not checked in Printer Setup.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to allow users to save their individual printer settings when using the TinyTERM Web Server Client. Printer settings are currently saved in the .tpx file, which is only available from the web server when using TinyTERM Web Server Client. Implementing this would require a substantial rewrite of the printer management code.

Nevertheless, this would be a useful function, as client users are not likely to have identical printer settings.

When printing to a Lexmark color inkjet on a USB port, TinyTERM returns the error, “Cannot find printer.” Other Windows applications print without a problem. This has been reported for both the Lexmark Z23  and the Lexmark Z35.

CR 306

When printing through LPD on Windows 95, 98 or Me, the escape sequences for printer setup are lost. The Bypass Windows Print Drivers option does not change this. This has been reported by a reliable source, but it has not been duplicated by Century Software, Inc.

CR 203

TinyTERM and TERM for Windows insert null characters after CR/LF pairs in transparent print jobs. This does not affect text output, but causes problems printing image files.

CR 90, fixed in TinyTERM 4.13

The TN3270 and TN5250 emulations only print in Courier New font, regardless of the font selected for screen display. This was changed in TinyTERM Plus 4.40, so that the display font would also be the font used for printing. To make this work, you must print to the Windows printer, with the Bypass Printer Drivers option not set.

CR 9

Install TinyTERM Thin Client on a Citrix server. Connect to the server from a Windows 3.11 PC. If TinyTERM is configured to print direct to device LPT1: without the Flush Output option checked, the print job does not print until TinyTERM is closed. With the Flush Output option checked, the print job prints slowly and the emulation screen does not return control until the entire print job is finished.

This is not a TinyTERM issue. It was resolved by removing the printers, then reconnecting to Citrix. That re-adds the printers, fixing the printing problem.

CR 73

If the terminal emulation in TinyTERM is set to any emulation that uses \033[5i as the transparent print on code — SCOANSI, ANSI, VT220, etc. — printing to the Windows printer produces no output. If you check Bypass Printer Drivers, then it works, provided the printer allows it. This only affects TinyTERM 4.42.

CR 720, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43
