PRINTIT - A text formatter for HP printers v 1.1
By
Greg Silva
(c) 1992
Introduction
-------------
PRINTIT is a simple text formatter that allow you to control the way a text
file is printed on a printer that used HP PCL. It will also provide a footer
with the filename, page number, and data and time printed.
Running
-------
The easiest way to run the program is by typing in:
PRINTIT filename
The output will be directed to the screen. Use the greater-than sign (>)
to redirect the output to a file or the printer. The following example
send the formatted text to the printer (provided that LPT1 is set up as the
default printer).
PRINTIT filename > prn
Command Line Options
--------------------
Various options are available in this program. These options will be listed
if you type
PRINTIT
at the command line.
Option Meaning Default
------ --------------------------------------- -------
-Lnn set left margin at nn columns 10
-N add line numbers to the printout (no numbers)
-Ox set page orientation to x P (portrait)
-Pnn set lines per page to nn 75
-Tnn set to margin at nn rows 6
If the user changes these setting, it is up to the user to decide if the
be sure that the new setting make sense. Running the program with
PRINTIT -P80 -OL filename
will produce output formatted with 80 lines of text per page in landscape
mode. This will produce a waste of paper.
Notes
-----
All output is in the smallest font standard with the HP lasers. To change
some of the setting, the output could be redirected to a file and editted.
The margins can be changed and the line numbers can be left out, but the
footer is always printed.
