2413.0. "Print default doesn't lock" by SDEVAX::THACKERAY () Thu Mar 08 1990 15:00

    Every time I bring up DECwindows Mail, I have to reset the Print
    Defaults. Just today, I can't seem to keep it set on one printer, and
    when I pop up the Print Defaults menu, it's jumped back to the top of
    the list, again.
    
    How can I permanently lock it to one printer between sessions?

    I haven't printed anything since I got my workstation a month ago, but
    somebody gave me these logicals to try out.  See if this will do the trick
    (it's not only for mail, but for all your printer defaults):

	$ Define DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_TEXT     QueueName
	$ Define DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_LINE     QueueName
	$ Define DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_TERM     QueueName
	$ Define DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_ANSI2    QueueName
	$ Define DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_ANSI     QueueName
	$ Define DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_PS       QueueName
	$ Define DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_REGIS    QueueName

    You can actually define your own lists of queue names.  For example, I
    have the following logicals defined:
    
$! DECwindows print logicals
$
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_TEXT	"KODAK,ANSI_PS40"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_LINE	"KODAK,ANSI_PS40"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_TERM	"KODAK,ANSI_PS40"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_ANSI2	"KODAK,ANSI_PS40"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_ANSI	"KODAK,ANSI_PS40"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_PS		"KODAK,POSTSCRIPT_PS40"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_REGIS	"REGIS_PS40"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_TEK		"NONE"
$	Define	DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_DDIF	"NONE"
    
    The format, as you may guess from the above logicals, is
    
    DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_<name appearing in Print Format box>  <queue names>
    
    where <queue names> is the list of names you wish to have appear in the
    Printer box.
