Printing

You can either print a range or the whole log and you can choose which columns are in the output. Printing can be done in 2 styles: landscape with 30 QSO's per page and portrait with 50 QSO's per page. The loglines will be evenly distributed across the paper. You need to make sure the log fits the paperwidth by either selecting the correct font or style.

The generated postscript file is sent to the default printer. If you are using gnome and cups, there is a little application called gnome-cups-manager for configuring printers. I case you are using lpd or lprng, you need to make sure there is an entry called 'lp' in /etc/printcap. In case printing fails, you can also print to a file. The file generated is log.ps in $HOME/.xlog.


For contest logs, you can enable 2 empty columns called 'Multiplier' and 'Points' for calculating your score. If you choose the portrait style it is advisable to disable the 'QSL Out', 'QSL In' and 'Remarks' columns. Otherwise your log will not fit on the paper.
