PRINT Command

PRint [file]

Issues a Print command to print a PostScript file.

If no file name is specified, the current PostScript file, or the last file that was open for PostScript writing, ( sabplot.ps or a name specified by POSTSCRIPT FILE ). If this file is currently open for PostScript generation, the file is closed, printed, reopened, and reinitialized.

PRint WAIT N

Wait N seconds between issuing a Print command and reopening the PostScript file that is being printed when no file is specified.

A Wait may be necessary on some system to give the print spooler a chance to pick up the file before it is reopened and reinitialized.

No Wait occurs when N < 0.

The file is not reopened when N > 100.

(Wait is implemented with the sleep system call.)

The system print command called to do the printing is specified with the PrintCommand resource in the Resources file:
