Places a job in the printer queue for the selected printer. If this option is omitted, the default printer is used.PRINTER_NAME should be a valid Windows installed printer name.

If the PRINTER_NAME is invalid, then a Printer Select dialog is displayed.

Default: background is drawn.

noctext

Causes colored textual regions to be drawn as if they are non-colored. Text is drawn in the foreground color of the region. Default: colored text is drawn using the background and foreground colors of individual characters.

invertbw

Causes white to be drawn as black and black as white.

Default: white and black are not inverted.
