Newtonlink Options - Print, Fax or Mail Data from Newton Outbox


Option -pr : Get Newton outbox entrys for printing

newtonlink -pr [file]

This function gets all outbox print entrys of your Newton and writes them to a temporary ASCII file. In command line mode you can select a optional filename. If you do not give a filename a default filename is used. You can edit the name and path of the default file in the Newtonlink config file.

After that, Newtonlink converts this ASCII file to an postscript printout and finally starts a previewer. You can select the name and path of the postscript converter (default: a2ps) and the previewer (default: ghostview) in the Newtonlink config file.

You can edit the name and path of the temporary file, the call to your fax file creator (default: fax make), the fax previewer (default: fax view) and the fax tool (default: fax send) in the Newtonlink config file.
