print-destination: preference variable

Default value: "lpt1"

For DOS or OS/2, Epsilon's printing commands record the device name of your printer in this variable. The printer device name is typically something like LPT1 or COM2.

If the print-destination variable begins with the ! character, Epsilon interprets the remainder of the value as a command line to execute in order to print a file. Epsilon substitutes the file to be printed for any %f sequence in the command line. For example, if your system requires you to type "netprint filename" to print a file, set print-destination to !netprint %f and Epsilon will run that command, passing it the file name of the temporary file it generates holding the text to print. The print-destination can include any of the file name template sequences, such as %p for the path to the file to print. (DOS, OS/2 only.)
