  • Print command for text files (Linux systems only) designates the command used to print text files. The symbols % p and % f designate the printer name and filename, respectively. When the command is issued, Ansys Icepak replaces % p with the name of your default printer (specified by the LPDEST environment variable). You can also specify the printer name explicitly (for example, -dmyprinter). Ansys Icepak will replace % f with the name you specify for the file. The default command is 

      lp -d %p %f

    The symbol % t can be used to denote a temporary file whose name is uniquely generated by Ansys Icepak.

    This command is not used by Windows systems. The Windows Print menu can be used instead.

  • Print command for PS files (Linux systems only) is the command used to print PostScript (PS) files. The default command is the same as the Print command for text files, described above.

    This command is not used by Windows systems. The Windows Print menu can be used instead.
