>From the Xprint FAQ (http://xprint.mozdev.org/docs/Xprint_FAQ.html): -- snip -- How do I configure Xprint on the client side ? A: There are two env vars which control Xprint on the client side: [snip] 2. The env variable ${XPRINTER} defines the default printer used by print applications. The syntax is either <printername> or <printername>@<display> Examples: a. % export XPRINTER=ps003 tells an application to look for the first printer named "ps003" on all Xprt servers. b. % export XPRINTER="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80" tells an application to look for the printer "hplaser19" on the Xprt display "littlecat:80". Note: If ${XPRINTER} is not set the applications will examine the values of the ${PDPRINTER}, ${LPDEST}, and ${PRINTER} env vars (in that order). -- snip -- You either set the ${XPRINTER} env var if you only want to affect Xprint clients or use the Unix standard var ${LPDEST} ... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
