NAME
dtlp - gather lp arguments and print a file
SYNOPSIS
dtlp [-b banner_title] [-d lpdest] [-m print_command] [-n
copy_count] [-o other_options] [-u user_filename] [-a] [-e]
[-h] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-w] [print_file]
DESCRIPTION
The dtlp command line utility is a front-end to the lp sub-
system. The dtlp utility gathers lp print options and
prints a specified file. It operates in two modes:
GUI mode By default, dtlp posts a Print dialog that
appears with Print, Cancel, and Help push-
buttons.
Silent mode When invoked with the silent flag, dtlp
does not present the GUI input dialog. It
collects input arguments from the command
line and environment variables.
The Print Dialog
When invoked normally, dtlp posts a Print dialog that shows:
File The name of the file to print (a read-only
text label).
Printer The printer device. The default is the
value of the LPDEST environment variable.
If LPDEST is unset, then the properly
localized default printer string appears
in the text field, if it exists.
Copies The number of copies to print. The
default is 1.
Banner Page Title
The title to appear on the printed banner
page, and if formatted, in the header of
each page.
Print Page Numbers
A checkbox to indicate whether the file
should be printed formatted (run through
the pr -f command) or printed unformatted.
Print Command Options
Any options to be passed directly to the
lp command. For example, some implementa-
tions support the -o2 option to lp to
enable double-page printing.
When the user presses the Print button,
these settings are passed onto the lp sub-
system, along with the values of any other
environment settings (see the ENVIRONMENT
heading in this man page).
OPTIONS
The dtlp command accepts a print_file name specification.
If a print_file is not specified, standard input is assumed.
When used in this fashion, the -u user_filename option can
be used to pass a name to dtlp for display in the Print dia-
log.
Command Line Options and the ENVIRONMENT Setting
The dtlp command is sensitive to some ENVIRONMENT settings.
In the case in which both a command line option and a com-
plementary environment setting are specified, the command
line option takes precedence.
Command Line Options
-b banner_title
Set the string used in printing the banner
on the title page. If the -r option is
also specified, then print this same
string on the page headers.
-d lpdest Set the printer destination for the file.
-m print_command
Use this value as the path name of the lp
print command. The default is lp.
-n copy_count Print this many copies. Default is 1.
-o other_options
Pass these options directly through to the
print_command, without any interpretation.
This setting is intended for users with
advanced printing knowledge.
-u user_filename
Use this value as the name of file as it
should appear in the Print dialog or print
output. Default is print_file.
Equivalent to the DTPRINTUSERFILENAME set-
ting under the ENVIRONMENT heading in this
man page.
-a Causes the file to be formatted with the
man command. If set, then other format-
ting specifications (such as -r) are
ignored.
-e Remove the file after printing it. This
functionality is intended for temporary
files generated by applications that don't
need to persist beyond the act of print-
ing. Equivalent to the DTPRINTFILEREMOVE.
-h Print out a help message.
-r Format the file before printing it, by
running it through the pr -f command.
-s Print the file silently, without posting
the Print dialog. Equivalent to the
DTPRINTSILENT setting under the ENVIRON-
MENT heading in this man page.
-v Print out verbose messages during the
print process.
-w Causes output to the printer to be sent
raw, with no interpretation of tabs, back-
spaces, formfeeds, and binary characters.
Useful for printing PCL and PS files. If
set, then other formatting specifications
(such as -r) are ignored; however, the -a
option will take precedence over this set-
ting.
print_file Print this file. If print_file is not
supplied, standard input is assumed.
ENVIRONMENT
Following are the names and meanings of the environment
values that affect the operation of dtlp:
LANG Use the specified value to determine the
locale of the message strings that appear
in the Print dialog.
LPDEST Use the specified value as the printer
destination for the file.
DTPRINTCWD If set to an existing, usable directory,
this setting causes dtlp to execute the lp
command pipeline from that directory. By
default, uses the current directory from
which dtlp is invoked.
DTPRINTFILEREMOVE
Equivalent to the -e command line setting.
Value must be True or False (case is
ignored). Default is False.
DTPRINTSILENT Equivalent to the -s command line setting.
Value must be True or False (case is
ignored). Default is False.
DTPRINTUSERFILENAME
Equivalent to the -u command line setting.
Reconciling Options
In the case of conflicting formatting options, dtlp uses the
following decisions to reconcile them:
o If any raw (as with -w), or man (as with -a)
options are specified, all other page formatting
and numbering options are turned off; otherwise,
page printing and formatting are allowed.
o In a formatted operation: If a banner title is
specified (as with -b), it will be used as the
page header.
o If a user filename is specified (as with -u or
DTPRINTUSERFILENAME), it will be used as the page
header; otherwise, the filename itself will be
used as the page header.
RETURN VALUES
0 Command completed successfully.
-1 The user pressed the Cancel button.
2 Usage error.
3 There is no specified file to print.
4 Unable to find the dtksh initialization
file, /usr/dt/scripts/DtFuncs.sh.
5 The file is an invalid file (for example,
a directory or a device file).
6 The user has no read permission on the
file.
EXAMPLES
Command Line
The following command line causes dtlp to post a Print dia-
log for file1 with a name displayed of Your File and with
the default printer chosen:
/usr/dt/bin/dtlp -u "Your File" file1
The following command line causes dtlp to silently print two
copies of file2 on printer laser3:
/usr/dt/bin/dtlp -n 2 -d laser3 -s file2
Action Definition
The following Print action would cause a PCL file to be
printed using the dtlp command.
ACTION Print
{
LABEL Print
ARG_TYPE PCL
TYPE COMMAND
WINDOW_TYPE NO_STDIO
EXEC_STRING /usr/dt/bin/dtlp -w %Arg_1%
}
The following Print action would cause a man page file to be
printed using the dtlp command.
ACTION Print
{
LABEL Print
ARG_TYPE MAN_PAGE
TYPE COMMAND
WINDOW_TYPE NO_STDIO
EXEC_STRING /usr/dt/bin/dtlp -a %Arg_1%
}
By default, these actions will post the Print dialog.
LOCALES AND CODESETS
The strings that appear in the Print dialog are localizable.
FILES
/usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/print.dt
Defines the default system Print action.
/usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/dt.dt
Defines the default Print actions for man
pages (type MAN), ASCII files (type
TEXTFILE), PCL files (type PCL), and PS
files (type POSTSCRIPT).
/etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/*.dt
The datatype files that implement the
per-printer Print action; these are
created by the dtprintinfo -populate com-
mand.
/usr/dt/scripts/DtFuncs.sh
The dtksh initialization file that defines
a number of GUI convenience functions, as
for creating a dialog box.
BUGS
The dtlp Print dialog cannot accept quote marks (either ' or
") in the Banner Page Title text field.
