Here's a crazy question: is it possible to AirPrint from a CPC to a WiFi printer?

Hi,
Probably yes, using the M4 board and writing specific software in assembly by taking advantage of the M4's internal functions such as C_NETSEND. Here are some examples: https://github.com/M4Duke/M4examples/tree/master (https://github.com/M4Duke/M4examples/tree/master)

Or using a Retro-Printer (https://www.retroprinter.com/) with a network printer.

I'll check those out. It would be fab to rattle off a quick letter in Protext and send it direct to a decent printer.

At least it will be possible to print from one CPC to another CPC/SymbOS machine connected to a printer over network:sym-pd1.png

So in the future you have one CPC connected to a printer in your house and many other CPCs which can use this for printing stuff haha ;D
