67.0. "Questions about printconfig" by NETRIX::"alantam@quarry.zk3.dec.com" (Alan Tam) Wed Feb 12 1997 15:25

Hi all,

My name is Alan Tam. I am working in I18N group and now I am
also the DRI of printconfig.

I have some questions about printconfig.

1. Why there are two separate windows for "Local Printer Settings" and
   "Advanced Local Printer Settings"? Can I consolidate them to be one
   window?

2. I found that after I entered some text and press return key in
   the "Advanced Local Printer Settings" and the window will close
   because the default button is set to "OK". I found it is quite
   inconvenience. Is it necessary to set a default button for
   all windows?

3. When I used lprsetup to setup a local printer, it required me
   to enter the device pathname 'lp'. However I can omit it in
   printconfig. When I checked the source code, I found that 
   printconfig allow the value of 'lp' to be a null string.
   What is the purpose to allow the value of 'lp' to be
   a null string?

Thank you,
