PRINT - print the current message
Usage: PRINT
The PRINT command sends the message to a printer, as determined by the
MM variable PRINT-FILTER. By default, it uses /usr/local/bin/print,
which asks you what printer you want (and offers a list) unless you have
a printer defined in your .profile file. Students can use CUCCA's
printers in the Int Affairs and Mudd micro labs (etc); see the lab
consultant for printer names and capabilities.
If you are using MS-Kermit and have a printer directly attached to
your PC, you can use a print command called pcprint. Type
"help set print-filter" to see how to customize printing.
The prefix LITERAL will force printing of all header fields regardless of
any settings of SET DONT-PRINT-HEADERS and SET ONLY-PRINT-HEADERS.
Examples:
Read>print #print the message
Read>literal print #print the message with all header fields
PRINT is somewhat similar to LIST. For example, you can print with the
LIST command by specifying a shell print command. The following...
Read>list |"lpr -Piab1"
...uses the lpr command to print the message to the printer "iab1".
The format is slightly different from the PRINT command. You can also
write your own program accepting standard input, and SET PRINT-FILTER
to its name.
