ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to word processing systems wherein material to be printed is formatted on a display unit having a display, e.g., CRT display and a text formatting processor which formats the display material. The display unit further includes means for controlling a printer to print the formatted text. In the present invention a plurality of such display units share a printer. This is accomplished by having at least one of the display units comprise means for controlling the sharing of the printer by the plurality of display units and each of the other display units communicate with the printer through these printer sharing control means. At least part of this printer sharing control means is contained in the text formatting processor of the primary display unit through which the other display units communicate with the printer.
