If you print to a non-standard printer, the following special attributes and controls may be available, depending on the printer type:
BIG data attribute
BRIGHT data attribute
Formdepth Calculations
OUTPUT.CONTROL data attribute
PITCH data attribute
UNDER data attribute
If your printer is not qualified, you need to define the output control codes. Refer to Example of Defining an Output Control Code for more information.
Associate printers with Report destinations in the CODESASSN file. Refer to Modifying a CODESASSN File for more information.
Add any special output control codes that are required by the printer to the CODES file. Refer to Modifying a CODES File for more information.
From Presentation Client, define each report destination as an alias in ROC. Refer to Defining a ROC Alias for more information. For example:
LincLp -S <server> -P <printer> [-C <class>] [-J <jobname>] [-O <option>]
Where:
<server> specifies the name or IP address of the computer to which the printer is attached.
<printer> specifies the name of the printer to which the print queue is directed.
<jobname> specifies the name of the print job.
<option> indicates the type of file.
For example:
LincLp -S finance -P finance_pr
This command directs all your print jobs to the printer called finance_pr, which is attached to the server called finance.
Note: Printing Services for UNIX (also known as TCP/IP printing services) must be installed and running on the server to which the printer is attached before a user can print. The printer may be attached to the user's workstation; in this configuration, the workstation acts as the print server.
