NAME
  dtprintinfo - the CDE Print Viewer

SYNOPSIS
  dtprintinfo [-p printer | -all | -populate | -help]

DESCRIPTION
  The Print Viewer program provides a graphical interface that displays the
  status of print queues and print jobs.  Additional information about print
  queues or print jobs can be retrieved within the interface, individual
  print queue labels and icons can be customized, and individual print jobs
  can be canceled.  Print jobs can be submitted by dragging files, text, or
  attachments from other CDE programs and dropping them on a print queue icon
  in a Print Viewer window.

  KEY SUPPORTED TASKS


    ·  Displaying configured print queues on the system

    ·  Displaying print queue and print job properties

    ·  Changing print queue labels and icons

    ·  Submitting print jobs

    ·  Canceling print jobs

NO OPTIONS
  When the Print Viewer is started without any options, it shows the LPDEST
  printer or the system default printer if LPDEST is not set.

OPTIONS
  -p printer
	    Displays information only for the specified printer.

  -all	    Displays information for all printers.

  -populate The -populate option is available only for root. This option
	    creates default printer actions for all printers in
	    /etc/dt/appconfig/types/LANG. If LANG is not defined, the actions
	    are created in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C.  The post-installation
	    process uses the -populate feature to create default printer
	    actions in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C.

  -help	    Displays command line option help.

  -session session_file
	    The Print Viewer creates a session file when you exit the
	    desktop. When you start the desktop again, the Print Viewer uses
	    the session file specified in the session_file parameter to
	    restore the view settings, which printers are shown and which
	    printers are opened.

RESOURCES

ENVIRONMENT
  LPDEST    This environment variable determines which print queue to display
	    when the Print Viewer is started without any options.
