no_printer Key Values
The no_printer flag can be set to save resources. By default, a “printer console
queue” of the incoming screen data is automatically created to facilitate the use
of the Q series of script commands. If an OS section does not have a “printer=”
statement in this section, use this flag to prevent creation of a printer queue for
that section. QREAD and other Q series script commands will then not work on
the affected OS.
