Tim, just what do you mean by "call up the print
requestor"?
some path in
http://localhost:631 ?
or some way to query lpr?
Choose the print option in almost any GUI application.
It's been years since I've used the command line to print anything,
since I don't have a dot-matrix printer any more, which was line-by-line
based data, the modern printers all want to deal with separate pages.
Sometimes that can be the cause of printing problems, it's waiting for
an end-of-page signal before anything happens (unrelated to this thread,
though).
And how do you generate your options?
Different sections of the window that pops up when I choose to print.
NB: Quite often, clicking the print icon on a toolbar prints to the
default printer, with the default options. But picking the print option
from a menu, goes through a requester window full of choices.
And just what is SVG?
Scaleable Vector Graphics.
