3 Function: The dprint command queues specified files for printing on
4 the line printer. The output begins with a header sheet that is
5 identified by the requestor's User_id and, if specified, the
6 destination. A summary sheet indicates the time of the request, the
7 time of printing, the number of lines and pages printed, and the cost
8 of printing.

11 Syntax: dprint -control_args file1 file2 ... fileN
12
13
14 where:
15
16 1. control_args may be chosen from the following
17 list of control arguments and can
18 appear anywhere in the command
19 line:
20
21 -header XX, -he XX identifies subsequent output by the
22 string XX. If this control
23 argument is not given, the default
24 is the requestor's Person_id. This
25 argument can be overruled by a
26 subsequent -header control
27 argument.
28
29 -destination XX, -ds XX labels subsequent output with the
30 string XX, which is used to
31 determine where to deliver the
32 output. If this control argument
33 is not given, the default is the
34 requestor's Project_id. This
35 argument can be overruled by a
36 subsequent -destination control
37 argument.
38
39 -map prints a file using only uppercase
40 letters. See "Notes" below.
41
42 2. filei each filei is the name of a file to
43 be queued for printing.
44
45
46 Notes:
47
48 The dprint command, invoked without any arguments, prints a message
49 telling how many requests are in the queue for printing.
50
51
52 If control arguments are present, they affect only files specified
53 after their appearance in the command line. If control arguments are
54 given without a following filei argument, they are ignored for this
55 invocation of the command and a warning message is returned.
56
57
58 If the -map control argument is used, an uppercase version of the
59 user's file is created in his home directory with the name
60 "file_name.map". After printing, it is deleted. Only one file can be
61 printed by dprint when the -map control argument is supplied.
62
63
64 Example:
65
66 ! dp -he Jones test.basic test.fortran
67
68
69 causes a copy of each of the files named test.basic and test.fortran in
70 the home directory to be printed with the header "Jones".
