Printing on UNIX requires some setup and configuration to create the proper
printing environment. For detailed information about printing your reports on
UNIX, refer to the chapter "Printing on UNIX with Oracle Reports"
in the Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web manual,
available on the Oracle Technology Network
Oracle Reports Documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
).
Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4) introduced the following enhancements for printing reports on UNIX:
The REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY
environment variable, which eliminates the dependency on the DISPLAY
environment variable. Prior releases of Oracle Reports required the DISPLAY
environment variable to be set to run and print reports on UNIX.
screenprinter.ppd
,
which eliminates the dependency on having a valid printer defined (PRINTER
and TK_PRINTER
environment
variables set to a valid printer, or a valid entry in uiprint.txt
)
for Reports Runtime on UNIX. This driver provides surface resolution for images
and specifies font information. Prior releases of Oracle Reports required
a printer to resolve fonts to run and print reports on UNIX.uiscreenprint.txt
. The file
locations (UNIX only) are:
uiscreenprint.txt
: ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin
screenprinter.ppd
: ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD
TK_PRINT_STATUS=echo
is set in g90runm.sh
. Thus,
to run a report with an Oracle Graphics 6i graph without a valid printer,
set the PRINTER
environment
variable to any value.Copyright © 1984, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
