(Removed) Configure printer defaults

printopt has been removed. To configure printer defaults, use the options provided by your operating system.

Syntax

[pcmd,dev] = printopt

Description

[pcmd,dev] = printopt returns the current system-dependent printing command and output device. printopt is a file used by print to produce the printed output. You can edit the file printopt.m to set your default printer type and destination.

  • pcmd contains the command that print uses to send a file to the printer when not using the printer drivers directly.

  • dev contains the printer driver or graphics format option for the print command.

The defaults for pcmd and dev are platform-dependent. This table lists the default values for each platform.
