NAME

       print.ini — survex printer settings

Description

       The print.ini file contains printer descriptions for the Survex printer drivers.

   File Format
       The  format  of  the  print.ini file is similar to the .ini files used on Microsoft Windows.  The file is
       divided into sections, each section corresponding to a separate printer description.   A  section  starts
       with a section name in square brackets, e.g. aven's built-in printer support uses the aven section:

       [aven]

       followed by some options of the form <option>=<setting>, e.g.:

       font_size_labels=6

       In  the  supplied  print.ini  each option is preceded by a comment (indicated by a semicolon ';') briefly
       explaining the option.

Customising Printer Settings

       If you wish to change the size of the font used for labels or the colours used you need to override  some
       of the setting in print.ini.

       You shouldn't modify the master print.ini (located in /usr/share/survex on Unix, or in the same directory
       as the Survex program files on other systems), or your changes will be overwritten by upgrades.   Instead
       create:

          •  /etc/survex/print.ini (Unix - system-wide settings)

          •  ~/.survex/print.ini (Unix - per user settings)

          •  myprint.ini in the directory where Survex is installed (other platforms)

       If  one  of  these  files  contains  a setting then aven will use it instead of the setting in the master
       print.ini.  Any settings not specified will still fall back to the values in print.ini.
