tnpref

This command allows you to manage printer references made to file services. It performs the following functions: list, read the attribute values of, create, and delete printer references.

Within TAS, each file service has a list of printers it exports. Since any number of distinct file services for distinct realms can export the same printer name, exported printers receive a list of printer references. The real printers and attributes have system-level definition (see "tnprinter"). AppleTalk file services do not use printer references, because AppleTalk uses independently configured print services.

Examples

1. Use either of the following commands to list all available printer references for all file services in all realms:

   	lmpacman:tty:term
   		blark:file
   NW
   	nwmyhost:file
   		lhpprn
   		blahprn
   	nwmyhost:term  nwmyhost:nvt

2. Use the following command to list all printer references for the file service test in the NetWare realm:

   tnpref -L -r NW -s test:file

   Sample Output:

   lhpprn blahprn

3. Use the following command to add the printer hpprn to the LM-NT-OS/2 realm file service myhost:

   tnpref -A r NB -s myhost:file -p hpprn

4. Use the following command to delete the printer reference hpprn from the file service nwmyhost in the NetWare realm:

   tnpref -D -r NW -s nwmyhost:file -p hpprn
