Printers, Print Jobs, and Queues Overview for Users
There are several flags that may be specified with the qprt command to customize the
output when submitting ASCII files to a PostScript print queue.
–1+ Adds page headings.
–2+ Formats the output in two columns.
–3+ Prints the page headings, dates, and page numbers in a fancy style.
This is sometimes referred to as ”gaudy” mode.
–4+ Prints the file, even if it contains unprintable characters.
–5+ Lists characters that are not included in a font.
–h string Specifies a string to be used for page headings. If this flag is not
specified, the heading consists of the file name, modification date, and
page number.
–l value Specifies the maximum number of lines printed per page. Depending on
the point size, fewer lines per page may actually appear.
–L! Truncates lines longer than the page width.
–p Specifies the point size. If this flag is not specified, a point size of 10 is
assumed, unless two–column rotated mode (–2+ –z1) is specified, in
which case a value of 7 is used.
–s Specifies the font style. If this flag is not specified, the Courier font is
used. Acceptable values are:
Courier–Oblique
Helvetica
Helvetica–Oblique
Helvetica–Narrow
Helvetica–Narrow–Oblique
NewCenturySchlbk–Italic
Optima
Optima–Oblique
Palatino–Roman

Note: The PostScript printer must have access to the specified font.
–z1 Rotates the output 90 degrees (landscape mode).
