Documentation
Definition
This command is used to hand over data to the host spooler or to query the request list for a printer at the host spooler. It is only used in connection with access method 'L' or 'N' (old).
The print command receives a file name and the name of a host spooler printer, and must pass the file to the host spooler for printing. You must ensure that the file is deleted after printing.
The query command receives a printer name as the parameter. It must return the current list of non-processed print requests to this printer on the standard output channel (stdout for UNIX).
There are some parameters that can be used in the command:
&F Name of the output file
&P Name of the output device (host spooler name)
&C Number of prints
&L Format (e.g. X_PAPER)
&O Owner of the spool request
&M Client in which the spool request is stored
