     DESCRIPTION
          The Print Viewer program provides a graphical interface that
          displays the status of print queues and print jobs.
          Additional information about print queues or print jobs can
          be retrieved within the interface, individual print queue
          labels and icons can be customized, and individual print
          jobs can be canceled.  Print jobs can be submitted by
          dragging files, text, or attachments from other CDE programs
          and dropping them on a print queue icon in a Print Viewer
          window.

          actions are created in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C.  The
