Printing Nodes
**************

   In general, we recommend that you use TeX to format the document and
print sections of it, by running `tex' on the Texinfo source file.
However, you may wish to print out the contents of a node as a quick
reference document for later use, or if you don't have TeX installed.
Info provides you with a command for doing this.

`M-x print-node'
     Pipe the contents of the current node through the command in the
     environment variable `INFO_PRINT_COMMAND'.  If the variable does
     not exist, the node is simply piped to `lpr' (on DOS/Windows, the
     default is to print the node to the local printer device, `PRN').

     The value of `INFO_PRINT_COMMAND' may begin with the `>'
     character, as in `>/dev/printer', in which case Info treats the
     rest as the name of a file or a device.  Instead of piping to a
     command, Info opens the file, writes the node contents, and closes
     the file, under the assumption that text written to that file will
     be printed by the underlying OS.
