.TH "print.ini" "5" 
.SH "NAME" 
print.ini \(em survex printer settings 
.SH "Description" 
.PP 
The print.ini file contains printer descriptions for 
the Survex printer drivers. 
.SS "File Format" 
.PP 
The format of the \fBprint.ini\fP file 
is similar to the \fB.ini\fP files used on Microsoft Windows. 
The file is divided into sections, each section corresponding to a separate 
printer description.  A section starts with a section name 
in square brackets, e.g. aven's built-in printer support uses the 
aven section: 
.PP 
.nf 
[aven] 
.fi 
.PP 
followed by some options of the form 
<option>=<setting>, e.g.: 
.PP 
.nf 
font_size_labels=6 
.fi 
.PP 
In the supplied \fBprint.ini\fP each option is preceded by 
a comment (indicated by a semicolon ';') briefly explaining the option. 
.SH "Customising Printer Settings" 
.PP 
If you wish to change the size of the font used for labels or the colours 
used you need to override some of the setting in print.ini. 
.PP 
You shouldn't modify the master print.ini (located in /usr/share/survex 
on Unix, or in the same directory as the Survex program files on other 
systems), or your changes will be overwritten by upgrades.  Instead create: 
.IP "   \(bu" 6 
/etc/survex/print.ini (Unix \- system-wide settings) 
.IP "   \(bu" 6 
~/.survex/print.ini (Unix \- per user settings) 
.IP "   \(bu" 6 
myprint.ini in the directory where Survex is installed (other platforms) 
.PP 
If one of these files contains a setting then aven will use it instead of the 
setting in the master print.ini.  Any settings not specified will still fall 
back to the values in print.ini.
