How would you send a text file to a printer connected to the first parallel port without using a print queue? Why is doing so a bad idea?

What will be an ideal response?


# cat file.txt > /dev/lp0

Sending a file directly to the printer bypasses the print queue and can inter-
fere with other print jobs. Also, this technique bypasses the printer driver
so the output might appear as gibberish.
