Directing Output to a Universal Printer
Sending Output to a UPRINTER Device
Universal Printing Directing Output to a Universal Printer 155
If you are using the SAS windowing environment, you can issue the DMPRINT
command in many windows, including the Log, Output, and Program Editor windows,
to send window contents to the Universal Printing default printer. You can also use the
FILENAME statement to associate a fileref with the default printer, using the device
type UPRINTER:
filename myuprt uprinter;
Once a fileref is associated with a printer, you can use that fileref in a PROC
PRINTTO statement to print the log or procedure output. For example, the following
statement directs any subsequent output to the default UPRINTER:
proc printto log=myuprt print=myuprt; run;
The fileref can also be used in other SAS statements that accept filerefs or in any
window command or field that accepts filerefs.
Note: The -ovp option (typically used when a PROC routes log output to a universal
printer) is incompatible with the UPRINTER driver. Messages are not overprinted. R
The PRINTERPATH SAS Option
Use the PRINTERPATH= SAS option to specify the destination printer for SAS print
jobs.
PRINTERPATH=(’printer-name’ fileref)
printer-name
must be one of the defined printers. Quotation marks are required around the
printer name only when it contains blank spaces.
fileref
is an optional fileref. If a fileref is specified, it must be defined with a FILENAME
statement or external allocation. If a fileref is not specified, output is directed to
the destination defined in the printer definition or setup. Parentheses are required
only when a fileref is specified.
Note: The PRINTERPATH= option is an important option in batch processing. It
causes Universal Print drivers to be used for SAS/GRAPH and ODS PRINTER output
whenever it is set. R
Changing the Default Font
The font that is included in the definition of the current default printer is the font
used to generate output, unless you override it with the SYSPRINTFONT= system
option. SYSPRINTFONT= sets the font to use when printing to the current printer or
to the printer identified with the optional keywords NAMED or ALL. You can specify
SYSPRINTFONT= in your configuration file, at SAS invocation, or in an OPTIONS
statement.
The syntax is as follows:
SYSPRINTFONT=(face-name
