Notes
The 'class' of the file will be the same as the file extension (PDF, XML, etc.).
Specifying the 'host' sets up a symbol (so HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx in the INI file would define the default host IP address); this would enable LPR output from the command line e.g.:
ESCAPEE filename /PS /LPR
The /LP_DATASIZE symbol can be used to tell a printer that the file size is unknown by setting the value of n to 0, -1 or -2, depending on the printer. (nQ accepts the default setting for LP_DATASIZE of 0.)
While the file is being processed the output is stored in a buffer. The LPR connection is made when the processing is complete (or in the case of a large file, the buffer is full). This means that the transmission may not start immediately and the line is not kept waiting.
