60.0. "Print to queue besides SYS$PRINT" by AKOV68::SHEPRO (Good enough for Gov't Work) Fri Apr 22 1988 11:57

    I have a user who wishes to print a report to a spooled printer
    other than SYS$PRINT.  How???

60.1DEFINE SYS$PRINTWRO8A::BLUMTue Apr 26 1988 15:1621
    If they define SYS$PRINT to be another printer FOCUS will send the
    report to that printer.
    
    Example:  You want to send your OFFLINE output to a printer called
    	      LASER8.
    
    		Do this:   $ DEFINE SYS$PRINT LASER8
    
    	      Now FOCUS will send reports to SYS$PRINT (but really to
    		LASER8).
    
    		If you want to do the same thing from within FOCUS
    		you need to do:
    
    			>> VMS DEFINE/JOB SYS$PRINT LASER8
    
    		This line MUST have the /JOB or it won't work.
