NAME
dtprintinfo - the CDE Print Viewer
SYNOPSIS
dtprintinfo [ -p <printer> | -all | -populate | -help ]
DESCRIPTION
The Print Viewer program provides a graphical interface that
displays the status of print queues and print jobs. Addi-
tional information about print queues or print jobs can be
retrieved within the interface; individual print queue
labels and icons can be customized; and individual print
jobs can be canceled. Print jobs can be submitted by drag-
ging files, text, or attachments from other CDE programs and
dropping them on a print queue icon in a Print Viewer win-
dow.
KEY SUPPORTED TASKS
- Displaying configured print queues on the system.
- Displaying print queue and print job properties.
- Changing print queue labels and icons.
- Submitting print jobs.
- Canceling print jobs.
- Generating user preferred print queues and default
printer in $HOME/.printers to allow viewing only printers
of interest.
- Designating a default printer according to the precedence
rules set up by printers(4). The precedence rules may
affect the result of this operation, that is, for the new
setting to be effective immediately.
NO OPTIONS
When the Print Viewer is started without any options, it
shows the LPDEST printer or the system default printer if
LPDEST is not set.
OPTIONS
-p <printer>
Display information only for the specified <printer>.
-all
Display information for all printers.
-populate
The -populate option is available only for root. This option
creates default printer actions for all printers in
/etc/dt/appconfig/types/LANG. If LANG is not defined, the
actions are created in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C. The
post-installation process uses the -populate feature to
create default printer actions in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C.
-help
Display command line option help.
-session <session_file>
The Print Viewer creates a session file when you exit the
desktop. When you start the desktop again, the Print Viewer
uses the session file specified in the session_file parame-
ter to restore the view settings, and list which printers
are shown and which printers are opened.
RESOURCES
The Print Viewer does not define any application specific
resources.
ENVIRONMENT
