==Description==
The DB_PRINTOPT environment variable is used to define the default system printing operation options in conjunction with the DB_PRINT environment variable.  By default, DB_PRINT is set to the print.unix script: 

<pre>
################################################################
#
# print.unix: Recital system-wide print file
#
# Modify this shellscript to handle site-specific printers etc.
#
#################################################################
lp ${DB_PRINTOPT} $1 > /dev/null 2>&1
tmp=`echo $1 | grep -c .tmp`
if [ $tmp -ne 0 ]
then
  rm $1
fi
</pre>

The value of DB_PRINTOPT is set in the conf files, but the PUTENV() function can be used to change this value, and the GETENV() function to query it. 

<pre>DB_PRINTOPT="-onobanner -c"</pre>

==Example==
<code lang="recital">
putenv([DB_PRINTOPT],[-dmyprinter])
set printer to \\spooler
list status to print
set printer to
</code>
