Printer printer
; On UNIX: Printer -Phplj4 ; On OS/2, DOS, Windows: Printer LPT3:
This keyword is used to configure the printer that MsgEd TE will use when printing a message (Alt-W). The usage of this keyword depends on your platform:
On OS/2, DOS and Windows, it specifies the special device filename for
printing. The default value is PRN
. Other values that make sense are
LPT1:
, LPT2:
and so on.
On UNIX, MsgEd TE prints by piping the message text into the lpr
command, and the Printer
keyword is used to configure additional
options to the lpr
command. By default, no additional options are
used. If, for example, you do not want to use the default queue, but the
queue named ‘hpjl4’, you would use Printer -Phplj4
in your
configuration file.
