3.2Printing files

This section describes the simplest way of printing files with Xprint V7.0. This might be sufficient for some users while other users will require further options.

Use the following basic command to print a complete document on your default printer:

xpadd [-job] -dr selection

If you want to print a file, you do not have to specify the object type -jobfor the xpadd command as this is the default for xpadd. The -droption (document reference) is used to select one or more files for printing. After this option, for selection, specify the names of the files to be printed. The command could have the following format:

xpadd -dr file

xpadd -dr file1 file2.txt file3.xyz

If you have specified only one file, only this file is sent to the printer; if you have specified several files, these are sent to the printer as one block. This block of combined files or the solitary file is called a print job.

Instead of the xpadd command you can also use the X/Open command lp to submit a print job. As with the other X/Open commands lpstat and cancel, the lp command is described in the “SINIX - Commands” manual and in the appendix of the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.

In addition to the -droption, there are numerous possible options for controlling the printing process. In the following sections many of these options are listed according to topics. A complete alphabetical overview of all the available options can be found in the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual” under the command xpadd -job. The table below serves as a guide through this section.
