## CHOOSING A PRINTER FOR HARDCOPY OUTPUT

A user may have several printers (and display devices) connected to a GRASS system. Before printing a map, the user must first select which device will be used to print output produced by the GRASS print commands. The "GRASS Hardware Configurations Guide" lists printers to which GRASS print output can be sent. In addition to hardcopy output devices (printers), a 'preview' driver also exists to send print output to a user's graphics display monitor. User sites can also elect to write new device drivers. The "GRASS Programmer's Manual" and the "GRASS 4.0 Installation Guide" discuss some of the requirements of device drivers.

The GRASS command used for selecting a device for print output is:

- p.select

For more information on this command, select the command and press ESC.
