Introduction to Universal Printing
Universal Printing is a printing mechanism provided by SAS that supplies printing support for all operating environments. It is especially helpful for those operating environments in which printing can be a challenge. With Universal Printing, you can direct output to printers attached to your local area network, and you can use all the font and graphic capabilities of those printers when you generate output.
With SAS Release 8.2, Universal Printing became the default printing method in the z/OS windowing environment. It is also the default printing method used to generate ODS (Output Delivery System) and SAS/GRAPH output in all mainframe environments. Universal Printing is not the default printing method used to generate procedure output that is text based (such as PROC PRINT output), unless ODS is also used.
Universal Printing is also the default in the UNIX and VMS operating environments. It is supported, but it is not the default, in the Microsoft Windows operating environment.
Universal Printing produces output in PostScript, PDF, PCL, GIF, or a file that is sent directly to an output device.
