<para>
To change the label displayed at the bottom of the
<application>printer</application> applet, ("Print" in <xref
linkend="printer-fig">) type a new name in the <guilabel>Printer
name</guilabel> field. This setting is useful if you have more than one
printer available for use and wish to add a
<application>printer</application> applet to the
<interface>Panel</interface> for each printer. The <guilabel>Printer
name</guilabel> 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 <application>printer</application> applet installed on
your <interface>Panel</interface>.
</para>
<para>
To change the command the <application>printer</application> applet uses to
print your files, you may enter a new command in the <guilabel>Print
command</guilabel> field. By default, the <application>printer
</application> applet uses the command <command>lpr</command>, which is
common to many systems. Your system may use a different command. If you're
unsure, check your system's documentation.
</para>
<note>
<title>Note for advanced users</title>
<para>
If you have more than one printer, you may designate which printer to send
files to by changing the <guilabel>Print command</guilabel> setting. For
instance, if your system uses the command <command>lpr</command> to print
files and you need to print your file on the printer named "ljet5", you
would change the <guilabel>Print command</guilabel> setting to <command>lpr
-Pljet5</command>.
</para>

<para>
After you have made all the changes you want, click on
<guibutton>OK</guibutton> to apply the changes and close the
<interface>Properties</interface> dialog. To cancel the changes
and return to previous values, click the
<guibutton>Close</guibutton> button.
