    To change the label displayed at the bottom of the
    <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>printer</TT
> applet, ("Print" in <A
HREF="index.html#PRINTER-FIG"
>Figure 1 in the section called <I
>Printer Applet</I
></A
>) type a new name in the <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Printer
    name</B
></TT
> field.  This setting is useful if you have more than one
    printer available for use and wish to add a
    <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>printer</TT
> applet to the
    <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
> for each printer. The <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Printer
    name</B
></TT
> does not determine which printer your file will be printed
    to, it exists as an easy means to to distinguish between printers should you
    have more than one <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>printer</TT
> applet installed on
    your <SPAN
CLASS="INTERFACE"
>Panel</SPAN
>.

     To change the command the <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>printer</TT
> applet uses to
     print your files, you may enter a new command in the <TT
CLASS="GUILABEL"
><B
>Print
     command</B
></TT
> field.  By default, the <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>printer
     </TT
> applet uses the command <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>lpr</B
>, which is
     common to many systems.  Your system may use a different command.  If you're
     unsure, check your system's documentation.
