Print Facilities; Selecting The Print Destination - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

This chapter describes how to use the facilities provided by TeemTalk
for specifying where print data is directed, and also provides a useful
debugging guide for the UNIX print system itself.

Selecting The Print Destination

TeemTalk has the ability to print to :-
1. A device (normally resident in the /dev directory).
2. A standard UNIX configured printer (i.e. a printer normally
available from the UNIX lp or lpr command, or from a print
manager facility).
3. A file.
You can specify the destination for print data using a resource or command line
option when TeemTalk is loaded, or via the Printer Setup dialog box when TeemTalk
is running.
Using A Resource Or Command Line Option
The following commands enable you to specify the name of the device or file to which
print data is directed.
Resource:
Command Line:
Default Setting:
To direct print data to a device, follow the command with a pipe symbol (|) then the
directory and device name. For example:
xteemx340*printerFile: | /dev/device_name
To direct print data to a file, specify the name of the file after the command.
