Re: [sqr-users] Print-Image

Jamie,

No.  The printer type is not meant to be known until the output
is rendered for a particular printer.  In other words, SQR is
designed so that you can say "-keep -nolis" when you run SQR,
and then later use SQRP with "-printer:xx" to generate output
for the desired printer type.

In SQR version 8.0, it became possible to define multiple
image files (one for each type) in a declare-image or print-image
command.  The idea here is to allow you SQRP to pick the appropriate
image type based on the output format.  See the FOR-PRINTER option
for DECLARE-IMAGE or PRINT-IMAGE.

BTW, I doubt that this feature made it into any of the PeopleSoft 
versions of SQR.  Alas, this may be a casualty of forking.
