NAME
     dtprintinfo - the TED Print Viewer

SYNOPSIS
     dtprintinfo [ -p <printer>	| -all | -populate | -help ]

DESCRIPTION
     The Print Viewer program provides a graphical interface that
     displays the status of print queues and print jobs.  Addi-
     tional information	about print queues or print jobs can be
     retrieved within the interface, individual	print queue
     labels and	icons can be customized, and individual	print
     jobs can be canceled.  Print jobs can be submitted	by drag-
     ging files, text, or attachments from other TED programs and
     dropping them on a	print queue icon in a Print Viewer win-
     dow.
