dtprintinfo(1)
CDE
NAME
  dtprintinfo - the CDE Print Viewer

SYNOPSIS
  dtprintinfo [-p printer | -all  | -populate  | -help]

OPTIONS
  -p  printer
      Displays information only for the specified printer.

  -all
      Displays information for all printers.

  -populate
      The -populate option is available only for root. This option creates
      default printer actions for all printers in
      /etc/dt/appconfig/types/LANG. If LANG is not defined, the actions are
      created in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C. The post-installation process
      uses the -populate feature to create default printer actions in
      /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C.

  -help
      Displays command line option help.

  -session session_file
      The Print Viewer creates a session file when you exit the desktop. When
      you start the desktop again, the Print Viewer uses the session file
      specified in the session_file parameter to restore the view settings,
      which printers are shown and which printers are opened.

NO OPTIONS
  When the Print Viewer is started without any options, it shows the LPDEST
  printer or the system default printer if LPDEST is not set.

DESCRIPTION
  The Print Viewer program provides a graphical interface that displays the
  status of print queues and print jobs. Additional information about print
  queues or print jobs can be retrieved within the interface, individual
  print queue labels and icons can be customized, and individual print jobs
  can be canceled.  Print jobs can be submitted by dragging files, text, or
  attachments from other CDE programs and dropping them on a print queue icon
  in a Print Viewer window.
