Print Method

The Print Method defines how a file is printed in the DeskSet environment. If no Print Method is specified, the default print method of the application the file is being printed from is used. This field is on the expanded portion of the Icon Properties window.

DeskSet applications such as File Manager and Print Tool expect print methods to be in this format: cat $FILE | (pipe1) | (pipe2) ... Defining a print method of another type may produce unexpected results with the deskset tools. See also Chapter 10, Print Tool, for information on overriding a default Print Method.
