Synopsis

winprint [_options_] _file_

---

Description

The program schedules a print job file (produced by the "print to file" option previously) to a windows print queue.

Dialog boxes are shown to choose a file and a print queue unless this information is specified on the command line.

---

Options

Option	Purpose
-d	Schedule file to default print queue.
-P name	Schedule file to named print queue.

If any command line argument — option or file name — is provided, WinPrint attempts to start scheduling a file to a printer immediately.

---

Exit status

0 on success, all other status codes indicate an error.

---

Restrictions

The program is only available on Windows platforms.

The WinPrint program is a GUI program, not intended for use in scripts. So it does not set an exit status code on errors.

---

Notes

This program uses DK libraries version 4.

---

Examples

To schedule the file x.prn to the default print queue:

winprint -d x.prn
