Re: Print format on UNIX

[Franck Masson <franck.masson@SQRIBE.COM>]

When you want to print your report you have to know the printer type.
If you have a laser printer which support postcript
use : sqr myreport.sqr -printer:ps
lp -dlaser_ps myreport.lis

if your laser printer support PCL language
use : sqr myreport.sqr -printer:hp
lp -dlaser_hp myreport.lis

be care that you have any filter activated in your printer declaration
under unix.
