4.1.2 Printing a message

In order to print a message, press Alt-W. Select `Print'. That's all about it, the message will be printed! But how did MsgEd TE know how to find your printer? Well, on OS/2, DOS and Windows it just uses the standard printer, known as `PRN', which is usually connected to the first parallel port. On UNIX, it calls the `lpr' command with no special options, which will lead to the default queue being used.

If you want to use a different printer for printing mails -- for example, you might have two printers, one for high quality office correspondance, and one for quick printouts, and want to use the latter one for printing Fidonet messages --, you can use the Printer keyword in the MsgEd TE configuration file to select a different printer. See section 6.2.34 Printer, for more information.
