-SYSPRINT destination | 'destination option-list'

SYSPRINT=destination | 'destination option-list'

destination: is the name of a hard-copy device at your site. Consult your system administrator for a list of available destinations.
option-list: is the list of options to pass to the lp (or lpr ) command.

Details

The SYSPRINT option specifies a destination for printed output other than the default system printer. You can use the option list to pass options to the lp (or lpr ) command.

Note: When a fileref is assigned, the SYSPRINT option is queried. If the value of the SYSPRINT option is later changed, the fileref does not pick up this change. [cautionend]
