[pcmd,dev] = printopt returns strings containing the current system-dependent printing command and output device. printopt is a file used by print to produce the hard-copy output. You can edit the file printopt.m to set your default printer type and destination.

pcmd and dev are platform-dependent strings. pcmd contains the command that print uses to send a file to the printer. dev contains the printer driver or graphics format option for the print command. Their defaults are platform dependent.
