If you are printing to a network printer or print server, you can maybe use netcat if you know the port number(most time 9100)
cat /media/mmc1/mytextfile.txt | netcat 192.168.1.1 9100
Works on my printer for plain text files and several graphic formats.

That would be cool. Here's a small modification of your program that adds a few options that work well with my specific printer. If it were just for me, I'd probably remove the host, user, save, and exit (just exit after I click print).

This is a cool project.
I'd love a simple GUI frontend for sshfs, so I could mount remote drives on my tablet without having to use the command line.

However, this sets a really example, in that it uses a clear-text password. This is a terrible security practice, even on something like the tablet.

I am too dumb to find it at

Thanks in advance.
Edit: I mean netcat for N900.
One little annoyance is that two orthogonal options (fast draft, and grayscale) are not presented as orthogonal by the printer driver (.ppd file). This kind of gets in the way of my idea to let the user just specify some number of generic option slots with the associated commands (because I had to insert code logic to combine the two options). I guess it would work if we just exposed all 4 combinations of the two options to the user, even though it's uglier. Even then, without some kind of radio box logic, the user might specify conflicting options. Maybe this is price for being both simple and general (simple, general, and pretty -- choose two).
