print-region
| Print the current region. | Shift-F9 |
Under Windows, this command displays the standard Windows printing
dialog. You can choose to print the current selection, the entire
buffer, or just certain pages.
Under other environments, this command always prints the current
region. It prompts for the device name of your printer, storing your
response in the variable print-destination (or,
under Unix, print-destination-unix), and
then writes a copy of the region to that device. For DOS or OS/2, the
printer device name is typically something like LPT1 or COM2.
If the printer name begins with the ! character, Epsilon
interprets the remainder of the name 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, enter
!netprint %f as the device name and Epsilon will run that command,
passing it the file name of the temporary file it generates holding
the text to print. The device name can include any of the file name
template sequences, such as %p for the path to the file to print.
If the variable print-tabs is zero, Epsilon will make a copy of
the text to print and convert any tabs into spaces before sending it
to the printer.
