Here is my DEVICE file entry:
NUMBER: 65 NAME: S121-LAUGHLIN-LASER
$I: <TO BE SET IN PRE-OPEN EX.> LOCATION OF TERMINAL: Laughlin_Office
SUPPRESS FORM FEED AT CLOSE: YES NEAREST PHONE: 787-7000
PAGE LENGTH: 70 FORM CURRENTLY MOUNTED: Plain paper
POST-CLOSE EXECUTE: DO FINISH^TMGPRNTR("laughlin_laser")
PRE-OPEN EXECUTE: SET IO=$$GETJOBNM^TMGPRNTR()
SUBTYPE: P-OTHER80 TYPE: HOST FILE SERVER
Here is the supporing files that create a file for writing, and then send the output file to the Linux lpr system
GETJOBNM()
;"Purpose: To create a unique printer job name.
;" This will be used during a printing process
;" that writes the printer file to the host file system,
;" then passes file to Linux
;" printing system.
;"Output: Returns name of file to put output into
;"UNIQUE will generate a filename based on time and job number
;" i.e. 'Print-Job-628233034.tmp
;"write !,"here in GETJOBNM^TMGPRNTR",!
new cJobs set cJobs="PRINT JOBS"
new Filename set Filename=$$UNIQUE^%ZISUTL("/tmp/Print-Job.tmp")
;"Now store Filename for later transfer to Linux lpr
new index set index=$order(^TMP("TMG",cJobs,$J,""))
if index="" set index=1
set ^TMP("TMG",cJobs,$J,index)=Filename
;"write !,"Print job name will be:",Filename,!
quit Filename ;"result returned by altering Filename
FINISH(Printer)
;"Purpose: to complete the printing process by sending the now-created file
;" to Linux CUPS (the printing system).
;"Note: The lpr system itself will delete this print file when
;" done (option -r)
;"Input: Printer OPTIONAL -- the name of the linux printer to send the job to.
new cJobs set cJobs="PRINT JOBS"
new index set index=$order(^TMP("TMG",cJobs,$J,""))
new Filename set Filename=$get(^TMP("TMG",cJobs,$J,index))
close IO
kill IO(1,IO)
kill ^TMP("TMG",cJobs,$J,index)
if Filename'="" do
. new CmdStr
. set CmdStr="lpr "
. if $get(Printer)'="" set CmdStr=CmdStr_"-P "_Printer
. ;"option -r --> lpr deletes file after printing done.
. set CmdStr=CmdStr_" -r "_Filename_" &"
. ;"write !,"Here is where I call:",!,"ZSYSTEM "_CmdStr,!
. zsystem CmdStr
