<p>Is there any such thing as a virtual Lineprinter.I mean a software emulation of a printer, that outputs to screen.</p>

<p>I have a project to change the output of print job. My past experience with a lineprinter was tedious rounds of</p>

<pre><code>loop:
   print
   walk down two flights
   check the output
   walk back up two flights
   edit code
got loop:
</code></pre>

<p>Anyone who thinks a lineprinter can be installed in a programmers office has not used a LinePrinter!</p>

<p>Googles just turning up printer emulation, as in printers that emulate other printers or virtual printer ports!</p>
