Print Facilities 7 Print Facilities 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: xteemx340*printerFile: device or file name -pf device or file name NULL string 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. 7-1
