Insight uses the SysV spooler so you have to
define a SysV printer to print from Insight.

There are several mechanisms to fake out the
sysV spooler to print to a BSD printer, the
simplest being a shell script called "lp"
that simply renames options and prints with
"lpr".

Are we talking about insightII from Biosym Tech? If so, edit your file
printer_info in the $INSIGHT_HELP directory and add a line for each
printer you want to see in the chooser.

printer_name print_command [,print_command]

e.g. : g316 lpr -s -P%P %F

where %P will be expand as the name of the printer and %F the name of
the file. See System Guide 7-1

Sorry, I thought you were interested in IRIS Insight, our online
documentation system.
