- Select v1.4
- Created by Jeff Pilant <pilant@nadc.nadc.navy.mil>
-
- Usage:
-
- SELECT <queue> [/NB] | <keyword> | FILE <filename>
-
- Where:
- <queue> is the name of a print queue
- /NB selects no banner
- HELP this text
- RESET reset to login setup
- LPT set for no capturing of printers
- NONE set for no capturing of printers
- LOCAL set for no capturing of printers
- SHOW display capture status
- FILE set for capture to file <filename>
- the captured file must reside on the server
-
- With no arguments, select give a menu and allows you to
- set the timeout and choose queues for lpt2 and lpt3 as well.
-
- --------------------------------
-
- Select is designed to let you choose a novell print queue for the lpt ports
- given a list of queues drawn from the server's bindery. After the list of
- queues are learned, Select adds 'NONE' for no queue capture.
-
- This system is designed to work with JRB's USERS.EXE. I add a field to his
- LOCATION.SRT file that contains the queue name and arguments to assign on
- login. The initial number (before the ':') of the file is optional as per
- the users. Select RESET will use this queue and arg list. If you give no
- arguments, select will prompt you with a list to pick from.
-
- Sample LOCATION.SRT:
- 00000000:000000000000 Server NONE
- 00000001:02608C42EC1A Console PC PRINTQ_0
- 00000001:02608C4BFBAE @Jeff Pilant Q_833/NB
-
- Select defaults to capturing lpt1, but if you bring up the menu, you can
- choose to affect lpt1, lpt2, or lpt3. Select sets a timeout of /TI=30, and
- also sets /NT (no tabs). The Select menu responds to Home, End, PgUp, PgDn,
- Up, Down, B, 1, 2, and 3. The arrows will wrap, the numbers select a printer
- port, and B will toggle banners.
-
- Pressing Return will select the highlighted queue and apply the banner state.
- Pressing Escape will exit and display the current capture status. Pressing
- F1 (Help) will exit and display the help screen. Pressing X, Alt-X, or Ctl-X
- will exit with no displays.
-
- The argument FILE on select's command line, will capture to a file with a
- timeout of 300. If your queue names start with 'Q_', for example Q_COLOR,
- then you can drom the 'Q_' and say select color.
