WorkBench Printer Utility
WBPrinter is a WorkBench 2.04 program that places an AppIcon in the main
WorkBench window. If any file icons are droped onto the AppIcon the files they
represent will be spooled to a specified directory then dumped to the printer.
INSTALLATION
WBPrinter is easy to install. Just drop its icon into the WBStartup drawer
on your boot disk and WBPrinter will be started whenever you load WorkBench.
WBPrinter accepts the following ToolTypes:
SPOOLDIR=<path> directory to use for temporary storage of files
to print. Defaults to "RAM:".
Files are stored in the directory
under the name PrintFile.n where n is a number
that is incremented each time a file is spooled.
This is to prevent one file from overwriting
another of the same name.
ICON=<path to icon> this is the FULL PATH to an icon You would like to
use instead of the programs default icon (be sure
to leave off the .info part).
ICON_LEFT_EDGE=<n> indicates how far in pixels You want the icon to
appear from the left edge of the WorkBench window.
Defaults to no position.
ICON_TOP_EDGE=<n> indicates how far in pixels You want the icon to
appear from the top edge of the WorkBench window.
Defaults to no position.
SKIP_PERF=(TRUE|FALSE) indicates whether You would like to set your
printer to skip perforations. defaults to TRUE.
If your printer doesn't support perf skipping
the setting of this will not matter.
EJECT_PAGE=(TRUE|FALSE) indicates whether You would like to send a
form-feed at the end of each print. defaults to
TRUE.
USAGE
To print a file from WorkBench simply drag the files icon over the
Printer icon. The file will then be printed.
Double clicking on the printer icon will open up the control windoow.
The first button selects printer line spacing (6 or 8 LPI).
The second button selects print quality (Draft or NLQ).
The third button selects print pitch (10, 12, or 15 CPI).
Next are two number gadgets for entering the left and right margin values.
The "From Preferences" button sets the previous five gadgets to values obtained
from user preferences.
The button labelled "Skip Perf" selects whether a form-feed will be performed
after a certain number of lines are printed. When the button is checked a
perforation skip will be performed. If your printer doesn't support perf
skipping then the setting of this will not matter.
The button labelled "Eject Page" select whether a form-feed will be performed
after each print is completed. When the button is checked a form-feed will
be performed.
The scrolling list in the top right displays the names of all files that have
been spooled. Click on one of the names to select it. Then you may click on
the "CANCEL" button to cancel that print or the "NEXT" button to move that
print up to be printed next.
The "Set Spool Directory" button allows you to select a new directory to use
as the temporary storage area. If there are still files in the current
directory to be printed then this button will do nothing.
The last button is the "Quit WBPrinter" button. This button will terminate
WBPrinter and remove the icon from the screen.
