1 The default devices for the LISTING destination do not write image files to disk.

2 JAVAMETA is supported for the LISTING destination, but its output requires processing with the Metaview applet.

3 In Windows, if the PRINTERPATH= option is not specified, then SAS uses the setting of the SYSPRINT= system option. If neither the SYSPRINT= nor the PRINTERPATH= option has been set, then SAS uses the default Windows printer.
