Description
The DB_PRINT environment variable is used to define the default system printing operation. It must be either a valid Operating System print command, e.g. on UNIX:
DB_PRINT="lp -dmyprinter -onobanner"
or the name of a file which contains such a command (and any other processing required.) By default, DB_PRINT is set to the file ‘print.unix’ in the recital/bin directory. This can be modified if required, to suit your particular printing environment. The ‘print.unix’ file contains a further environment variable, called DB_PRINTOPT, which can be set to the options that you require on the OS print command. By default, 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.
