Following is an example of a typical Windows printer ini file.

DEVICE=\\server\hp1 | HP LaserJet Series II

LPP=66

CPP=80,136

FONT=Courier New

CHARSET=ANSI

WEIGHT=400

PITCH=AUTO

ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT 

TMARGIN=1

LMARGIN=0

PASSTHROUGH=OFF

PREFIX=SYS:LASER.PFX

The typical Unix printer ini file is generally simpler:

DEVICE=jet7

PREFIX=SYS:JET7.PFX

SUFFIX=SYS:JET7.SFX

FORMFEED=ON

AUTOFF=ON

STRIPFF=ON

DELETE=ON

BANNER=OFF

 

Any commands that are not recognized are just ignored. It should be noted that not all commands are interpreted by all implementations of A-Shell, and they are very much at the mercy of the capabilities of the host operating system. Note that the all parameters are optional except for DEVICE or COMMAND, one of which is critical.
