PUBPR(1) — USER COMMANDS

NAME

pubpr: print a Publisher document from the system prompt

SYNOPSIS

pubpr [−P printer] [−m mag] [−c copies] [−p page-spec] [−o optfile] doc

DESCRIPTION

Pubpr prints a Publisher document on a laser printer without opening the document. There must be a DVI file and associated graphics files within the document directory in order for the document to print (i.e. the document must have been fully formatted in The Publisher). (If pubclean was run on the document, the .dvi file will have been removed.)

OPTIONS

−P printer
Send output to the named printer (e.g. lw, qmsps).

−m mag
Print the document at the specified magnification. -m 1000 is real size. -m 2000 magnifies the size by 100%. -m 500 shrinks the size by 50%.

−c copies
Print the specified number of copies of the document. Number is any integer.

−p page-spec
Print the specified pages of the document. Number can be selected pages, as in 1,3,5 or an ordinal page range 3-5. Integer reflects DVI page unless followed by a period (e.g. 3 is third ordinal page, 3. is page number 3).Combinations are allowed (e.g. 1,3.-5.,7).

−o optfile
Use the print command options listed in the specified filename. See the chapter about pubpr in The Publisher Advanced User Manual or ArborText’s DVILASER/PS documentation for more information about print command options.

docFull pathname is required if you are printing from a directory other than that in which the document is located.
