Identifier: printer_name

Type

string

Description

The name of the print device.

Notes

Unix:

On Unix systems this identifier may be redefined. At system start-up, its value is that of the Unix environment variable PRINTER, or `lp` if PRINTER is undefined.

Windows:

On Windows systems, this identifier provides the name of the current default printer for Fire. It may be redefined.

At session start, this will be the same as the Operating System default printer. Any change to the printer within interactive print dialogs will change this value, but any re-definition of the default printer outside of Fire, e.g. by the Windows Start/Settings/Printers dialog will be unrecognised by Fire. To enable Fire to pick up the current Operating System default printer, the following command should be used:

printer_name = 'default'
