Optional Arguments

printer-name1...printer-name-n
specifies the universal printers for which you want to generate a report. If the printer name contains spaces, enclose the printer name in quotation marks. Separate printer names with a blank space.
_ALL_
generates reports for all universal printers.
_PCL_
determines the default printer that is used by the ODS PCL destination and generates a report for that printer.
_PDF_
determines the default printer that is used by the ODS PDF destination and generates a report for that printer.
_PRINTER_

Windows specifics:By default, SAS uses Windows printing and not Universal Printing. When SAS uses Windows printing, the report that is generated when you specify the _PRINTER_ argument has information for the SAS printer interface device that is associated with the default Windows printer. The default Windows printer is specified by the SYSPRINT= system option. The SAS printer interface devices are WINPRTC (color), WINPRTG (gray scale), or WINPRTM (monochrome).
_PS_
determines the default printer that is used by the ODS PS destination and generates a report for that printer.
