If the file is already an Interpress master, \fIxnsprint\fR is invoked directly. An appropriate message is issued if the file is of a type other than text or Interpress. .PP The arguments specified in \fIfile1\fR through \fIfilen\fR may be in one of the following three forms, where host is a Clearinghouse name of the form \fIobject:domain:organization\fR (domain and organization are optional): .nf [host]filename (host)filename host:filename .fi .PP Credentials for accessing the remote service are determined either from the environment variables XNSNAME and XNSPASSWD or, if not defined, by prompting the user. .PP The possible options are: .TP .B -f causes the FilingSubset Protocol to be used instead of Filing. .TP .B -v causes a message to be displayed as each file is sent to the printer. .TP .BI -P \ printer causes the Interpress master to be delivered to the printer specified in .IR printer . .SH NOTES If no printer is specified on the command line, .I xnsprint will determine the printer either from the environment variable PRINTER or by querying a network Clearinghouse service. .SH "SEE ALSO" xnsprint(1N), maha(1N), xnscreds(1N) .br Clearinghouse Protocol, \s8XSIS\s0 048404 (April 1984) .br Filing Protocol, \s8XSIS\s0 108605 (May 1986) .SH BUGS It might be nice to build a minimal Interpress header for printing RES (Viewpoint canvases) also. .PP There should be a way to pass other command line switches to \fImaha\fR or \fIxnsprint\fR directly. .SH AUTHORS Ed Flint
