Summary  |  Top

   public SelectPrinter() 

   public String[] getPrinterList() 

Get the full list of logical printer names defined by the Termxref file.

   public synchronized String[] getPrinterList(String termname) 

Get the list of logical printer names for a terminal location. The BTAS/X file /edx/TERMINAL.PRINTER lists the printers displayed for each terminal location. If this file is not found or the location is not found in the file, then all printers in the Termxref file are listed.

   public synchronized String[] getTerminalList() 

Get the list of terminal location names defined by TERMINAL.PRINTER.

   public PrintStream getPrinter(String ptr)  throws IOException

Note: getPrinter() is deprecated — use getOutputStream

Get a PrintStream corresponding to a printer in the Termxref file.

Returns:

null if the printer is not found in the Termxref file.

   public void setTermEnv(String key, 
                          String val) 

Set an environment variable for external printer processes.

Parameter	Description
key	the environment variable name
val	the value

   public String[] getTermEnv() 

Return the terminal environment as an array of String with the form NAME=VALUE, such as used by Runtime.exec().

   public OutputStream getOutputStream(String ptr)  throws IOException

Get an OutputStream corresponding to a printer in the Termxref file.

Returns:

null if the printer is not found in the Termxref file.

   public void setTermxref(String fname)  throws IOException

Set the name of the file that maps printer names to devices or command pipelines. By default, the bmsi.edxdir property is used as the directory and 'termxref.sys' as the filename. The bmsi.edxdir property defaults to "/edx".

   public String getDefaultTerminal() 

Get the default terminal location. This comes from the EDXTERM terminal environment variable, or from the bmsi.term system property if EDXTERM is not set.

   public static String getDefaultTermxref() 

Get the default termxref file name.

   public static void main(String[] args) 

list the printers for terminal locations.
