Entering LPR Info

This section describes the LPR items you can use to print your files. The following items are available:

Printer

Your output is sent to the printer identified by a server/printer combination shown in the Printer box. All server/printer combinations which the program can connect to are stored in the list of defined network printers. When you click on the scroll arrow beside the Printer box, a drop-down box will display the contents of the list. To select a new current printer, click on an appropriate printer definition.

Person

This field is used to specify an owner of your print jobs. When your output is sent to the printer, the contents of the Person field identifies your print jobs in the Current Queue Information box. The person name must not contain any spaces. It defaults to your machine name unless set in the Person field.

Number of copies

This field is used to specify a number of copies you want to produce. The default number of copies is 1. Note that the remote computer you are sending your print files to may impose limits on how many copies you can produce.

Page width

This field is used to specify the page width. The default is 132 characters.

Current Queue Information Box

Since several people may want to use the same printer at the same time, and each job may take a length of time to print, a job that you send may not be printed immediately. Instead, it may have to wait in a queue until the printer is available. The Current Queue Information box helps you to find out if your output has been printed. The remote computer will be queried every few seconds and the status of the jobs it is processing will be displayed in the box. The queue information display includes your jobs as well as other peoples' jobs.

The Current Queue Information box is also used for selecting the print job you want to cancel (see Cancelling Output below).

Options Box

This box consists of items allowing you to specify your job options.

Burst page

Print jobs are normally separated by a 'burst page' which identifies the owner of the output. Printed on the burst page are the job classification and the job name. The Burst page check box is used to toggle the burst page. If you prevent the burst page from being printed, the Class name and Job name fields will become unavailable.

Class name

This field is used to specify the job classification printed on the burst page. The class name must not contain any spaces. It defaults to your machine name unless set in this field.

Job name

This field is used to specify the job name printed on the burst page. The job name must not contain any spaces. It defaults to the name of the file being printed unless set in the field.

File Type

This list box lets you choose the mode of file printing.The syntax of the text commands corresponding to these modes is described in the lpr.inf file (see below). You can delete, add, or edit (legal) command lines in this file as you wish.

Page title

This field is used to specify the page title other than the file name. Note that there must not be any spaces within your title. You can specify the page title only if the Pages check box is set to the enabled state. Page title defaults to the file name unless set in the field.

Status Box

This box displays the current program status.
