         How to Configure PINE for Different Printing Options

1. Start PINE with the command 'pine'.

2. At the Main Menu, type 's' for setup.

3. Type 'p' to enter printer setup.

4. Press 'n' for next, until you get into the section 'Personally selected
   print command'.

5. Press 'a' to add a printer.

6. Enter a printer name that will be meaningful to you and descriptive
   of how your output will look. EG. 'bigbox1up' might print to the HP
   LJ 5Si in room 1502, one page per side (aka 1up). With the command
   shown in step 7, it will also print in duplex mode.

7. Enter the print command that PINE will execute to print your mail
   message. This will look just like the command you would use to print
   a file at the command line. EG. 'lpBOX -xplain1 -xduplex'. Use the
   command 'lpBOX -h' to see all the options.

8. Press 'e' to exit the config utility. Press 'y' at the prompt to tell
   the system to save your changes.

9. Add as many printers as you like, with the different configuration
   commands you intend to use. When you print your mail messages, you
   will be able to select whichever print command you want.
