                                  For more information
                                  about spooler
                                  functions, see the

  OUTPUTTOFILE    NO | YES      Specifies if the output
                                  of this PrintObject
                                  goes to a file. The
                                  user will be prompted
                                  for a filename each
                                  time a print job is
                                  submitted to this
                                  PrintObject.
 
  PORTNAME        portname      The names of already
                                  installed ports (i.e.
                                  LPTx, COMx) to which

  PRINTDRIVER      driver.device
                                  The complete name of
                                  the print driver that
                                  this PrintObject is to
                                  use. For example:
                                  'IBM42XX.IBM 420

                                  driver, specify a
                                  comma-separated list.
                                  These printer drivers

                                  print jobs in PM_Q_RAW
                                  format.
 
                  NO            The PrintObject spools
                                  print jobs in
                                  PM_Q_STANDARD format.
 
  PRINTWHILESPOOLING
                  NO | YES      Printing is not, or is,
                                  enabled while the job
                                  is spooling.
 
  QSTARTTIME      time          The time when the
                                  PrintObject starts
                                  printing. The time
                                  format is HH:MM, and
                                  the base is a 24-hour
                                  clock.
 
  QSTOPTIME        time          The time when the
                                  PrintObject is to stop
                                  printing. The time
                                  format is HH:MM, and
                                  the base is a 24-hour
                                  clock.
 
  QUEUENAME        queue_name    The local queue_name
                                  for the PrintObject. If
                                  a queue name is not
                                  specified, one is
                                  created by the
                                  PrintObject. The
                                  queue_name key will be
                                  ignored if this object
                                  has already been
                                  assigned a queue.
 
  QUEUEDRIVER      qdrvname      The queue driver name.
                                  The queue driver must
                                  already be installed
                                  and will usually be

Class WPPrinter
Key Name Value Description
APPDEFAULT NO This PrintObject is, or is not, to become the application's default PrintObject for printing.
DEFAULTVIEW ICON Specifies the default open view for this PrintObject.
JOBDIALOGBEFORE PRINT YES Specifies whether the job properties dialog is displayed before printing.
JOBPROPERTIES filename The complete path to a binary file containing the default job properties for this PrintObject. This file can be created by saving the PRQINFO3->pDriverData data to a file; this data can be obtained by using the SplQueryQueue API of the spooler.

For more information about spooler functions, see the Presentation Manager Programming Reference.

OUTPUTTOFILE YES Specifies if the output of this PrintObject goes to a file. The user will be prompted for a filename each time a print job is submitted to this PrintObject.
PORTNAME portname The names of already installed ports (i.e. LPTx, COMx) to which this PrintObject is to be attached. In the case of more than one port, specify a comma-separated list.
PRINTDRIVER driver.device The complete name of the print driver that this PrintObject is to use. For example: 'IBM42XX.IBM 420 Proprinter III', 'LASERJET.HP LaserJet Series II'. In the case of more than one print driver, specify a comma-separated list.

These printer drivers must already be installed.

PRINTERSPECIFICFORMAT YES The PrintObject spools print jobs in PM_Q_RAW format.
NO The PrintObject spools print jobs in PM_Q_STANDARD format.
PRINTWHILESPOOLING YES Printing is not, or is, enabled while the job is spooling.
QSTARTTIME time The time when the PrintObject starts printing. The time format is HH:MM, and

the base is a 24-hour clock.

QSTOPTIME time The time when the PrintObject is to stop printing. The time format is HH:MM, and the base is a 24-hour clock.
QUEUENAME queue_name The local queue_name for the PrintObject. If a queue name is not specified, one is created by the PrintObject. The queue_name key will be ignored if this object

has already been assigned a queue.

QUEUEDRIVER qdrvname The queue driver name. The queue driver must already be installed and will usually be PMPRINT.
SEPARATORFILE filename A separator file that prints before each print job.
