Identifies the printer to use when processing the
OUTPUT TO PRINTERstatement in procedures.
In Windows, use Printer (-o) followed by the name of the printer port. For example:

If you do not use the -o parameter, the AVM uses the printer specified as
the default printer.
On UNIX, use Printer (-o) followed by the name of the spooler and any necessary parameters.
If you do not use the -o parameter, the AVM defaults to lp
(System V) or lpr (BSD). If you are passing arguments with this parameter
and are using a script such as PRO or one of your own, enclose the entire string in quotes
so the argument to -o is returned as a single value when passed to the
OpenEdge module. For example:

To use a print spooler with spooler parameters, use
OUTPUT TO PRINTER and specify the spooler
parameters with -o, as in the following commands:
