Amaya can print documents with or without CSS style sheets, on both Linux and Windows platforms.
Important: On Linux platforms, Amaya can only generate a Postscript description, so you must have a
PostScript printer or use an application to translate the PostScript into your specific printer language.
You can print a document in three ways:
• Setup and print (File/Setup and print), which enables you to set some parameters and options
before printing.
• Print (File/Print), which prints a document using the current print configuration (defined using
the Setup and Print command).
• The button on the button bar. On Linux platforms, this is a shortcut to the Print
command. On Windows platforms, this is a shortcut to the Setup and Print command.
For more information on printing with style sheets, see section About controlling printing with CSS.
22.1. Using the Print command
This command prints the current document with the default printing parameters or with the values
previously set using Setup and print.
On Windows platforms, the first time you launch the Print command, the standard Windows dialog is
opened to check that the default printer is correct.
22.2. Using the Setup and print command
The Setup and print command allows you to change the printer and other options. Depending on your
operating system, some parameters and options are reset to their default value when you browse another
document.
22.2.1. On Windows platforms
On Windows platforms, the first time Setup and print is activated, a dialog allows you to make some
choices like:
• generate a table of contents for the document,
• generate a table of links for the document,
• print the document URL on top of each page,
• and print with or without style sheets.
The next times, or when the Print command is selected, the standard Windows dialog pops up, and
allows you to choose the other printing parameters.
22.2.2. On Linux platforms
Under Linux, the Setup and print command allows you to:
• set the paper format (A4 or US),
• set the orientation (portrait or landscape),
• choose the number of pages printed on the same sheet (1, 2, or 4 pages per sheet),
• choose the output (postscript file or printer).
