Print_FileType.XXX

For printing Windows documents from a terminal e.g. Wyse/Axel etc. you need to specify a 'filter' for the different document type.

For example, printing Word documents, you may set up a filter:

 Print_FileType.doc = catdoc %s | lp -d %% 

This will pass the filename (%s) to the 'catdoc' utility and route it to your default printer (%%).

The XXX after print type is used to specify the file type e.g. Print_FileType.pdf would be used for PDF documents, Print_FileType.xls for Excel spreadsheets etc.
