How can I print an article from tin?

There are a couple of ways of printing an article from tin. You can either save the article and print it, cut and paste it to a word processing program, or you can send it to the printer directly from tin.

To do this, have the article on the screen and make sure that there is a printer attached to the machine that you are using. Press the | key. This is called a "pipe". You should then see something like this:

Pipe a)rticle, t)hread, h)ot, p)attern, T)agged articles, q)uit:

Press a.

You should then see something like this:

Pipe to command [ ]>

Type localprint and press return. Your computer will send the print job to your locally attached printer.
