NAME printtool - OpenWindows tool for printing files SYNOPSIS printtool [ -P printer ] [ -v ] [ -? ] DESCRIPTION Printtool is a DeskSet utility that provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the lp(1), cancel(1), and lpstat(1) printing functions. Printtool is an XView-based OpenWindows application that allows users to easily control standard printing options such as the name of the file to be printed, the name of the printer to use, whether or not to print a header page, number of copies to print, print method, etc. Printtool also lets users determine the status of print jobs in pro- gress and cancel print jobs that are waiting in the queue. OPTIONS In addition to the generic tool arguments supported by xview(7), printtool accepts the following options: -P printer Send output to the named printer. -v Show the version number and the usage message of this release of the printtool program. -? Same as -v USAGE Printtool is part of the OpenWindows user environment. For more information on the basic functions of OpenWindows, see the Solaris User's Guide Users will normally use printtool to print files by entering the name of a file in the Filename field, selecting a printer from the scrollable list of possible printers and then clicking on the Print button. The number of copies to print is set to 1 by default but can be easily changed by using the up/down arrows in the Copies control or by enter- ing a number. The Header check-box allows a user to specify whether or not a header page should be printed as part of the print job. The setting of the Header check-box will override the setting in the Properties... window. Users may also drag and drop file icons from filemgr(1) or mail attachments from mailtool(1) onto printtool's drop tar- get instead of typing a name in the Filename: text field. The drop target is a small rectangular area in the upper right-hand corner of the printtool window. If the printtool window is not open users can simply drag and drop a file icon onto the icon for printtool itself. The status of the printer queue can be checked automatically or by clicking the Status button. Print jobs may be ter- minated by selecting their name from the Job scrollable list and then clicking on the Stop Printing button. A print method can be invoked interactively by using the "Override Default Print Method" check-box in the Proper- ties... window and entering the print method in the space provided. This option allows finer control over how files are to be printed. Printtool will not add or append any- thing to or from the print method. Users can use the environment variables $FILES, $PRINTER, $LPDEST and $COPIES, which are specified in printtool, to write their own print method. For instance, the entry: mp -l will pass the file through the mp(1) filter with the "landscape" option selected. This is the equivalent of exe- cuting the following command on the command line: cat $FILE | mp -l | lp The Information... button brings up a text window with information about the selected printer. The Properties... button brings up a window that allows users to specify global defaults for printtool. These include whether or not to print header pages, whether to beep or flash when all jobs done, and whether or not to override default print method. The Apply button only sets these options for the current process. To save the current settings permanently the Save as Defaults button should be clicked. RESOURCES On startup, printtool uses the following resources which are stored in $HOME/.desksetdefaults: Resource: deskset.printtool.checkInterval Values: Status check interval (numeric) Description This is the number of seconds between status checks on the printer. The default value is 10 seconds. Resource: deskset.printtool.headerPage Values: true, false Description This is the flag for printing with header page or not. The default value is false (no header page). Resource: deskset.printtool.printMethodOverride Values: true, false Description This is the flag for overriding the default print method. The default value is false (use default print method which is determined by Classing Engine). Resource: deskset.printtool.lastPrintMethod Values: Print method string or full path of script string Description This is the print method for printing instead of the default method if deskset.printtool.printMethodOverride is set to true. Resource: deskset.printtool.notifyFlash Values: true, false Description If set to true, printtool will flash the win- dow or icon when all print jobs are done. The default value is false (no flash). Resource: deskset.printtool.notifyBeep Values: true, false Description If set to true, printtool will beep when all print jobs are done. The default value is false (no beep).
