To start printconfig from the xterm, enter the following command from the xterm: /usr/sbin/printconfig Note that the validation checking in the GUI interface is more strict than that used by the menu interface. If the GUI interface rejects an attribute value you believe to be acceptable, try the menu interface. Running the Menu Interface Option: To start the printconfig menu interface, enter the following command from the xterm: printconfig -ui menu This option invokes lprsetup. For more information, see the lprsetup(8) reference page. Running Online Help: You can view the Printer Configuration online help volume without run- ning the application. To open the Printer Configuration help volume from the command line, enter the following command: /usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -helpVolume \ /usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/PrintCon- fig.sdl You can also view online help for this application by choosing Help from the menu bar in the GUI version.

Displays the Reference section of the help volume, which describes all dialog boxes and dialog box components in the application. Activates the On Item help functionality by dis- playing a question mark as the cursor. When the cursor is positioned on any component in the application and you click on the component, a Help Viewer window is opened and the help for the selected component is displayed in the window.
