> any program that supports printing

Unfortunately printing support seems to go out of fashion, at least in macOS land.

Lately I needed a quick printout of a markdown document. I could have used TextEdit for the raw text, but I wanted the styling too. Learned that neither VSCode, Xcode nor Obsidian can print. (There is a community plugin for Obsidian.)

LOL. TIL you can’t print from VSCode.

printing has never really been a thing from text editors I think.

Used to be that printing a text file was just `cat myfile.txt > /dev/lp0` .

It has been a while since I printed a plain text file, but I guess there's still a similar command available with some research.

TextEdit.app supports printing, so does Notepad.exe (unless they removed that recently).

I've done the same from a raspberry pi to a receipt printer, just piping to lp0
