The [ports] section lists the communication and printer ports
available to MAX+PLUS II. The Windows LPTn: variables are
equated to UNIX commands. In this example, LPT1 and LPT2 are
equated to the print command lp. MAX+PLUS II prints its output to
an intermediate Postscript file, which is then substituted for the term
“%s”. The term -dps1700 in the example refers to a UNIX printer
named ps1700 that should be defined in the UNIX printcap file.
[PrinterPorts]
Apple LaserWriter II NT=PSCRIPT,LPT1:,15,90
Postscript Printer QMS=PSCRIPT,LPT2:,15,90
The [PrinterPorts] section lists the active and inactive output
devices that can be accessed by the printer drivers, specifies the ports
to which the output devices are connected, and specifies time-out
values. In the example, the Apple LaserWriter II NT printer is
connected to the PSCRIPT queue, and is connected to LPT1.
MAX+PLUS II ignores the time-out values.
Printer Fonts
You can use the [PSFontSubstitutes] section of the win.ini file to
specify aliases for actual printer fonts to match the fonts in MAX+PLUS II.
The following example shows the default font substitute list:
[PSFontSubstitutes]
Helv=Helvetica
helvetica=Helvetica
MS Sans Serif=Helvetica
Tms Rmn=Times Roman
MS Serif=Times Roman
Times New Roman=Times Roman
Arial=Helvetica
courier=Courier
