filename

Arguments: printer

Returns the value that was passed as the filename keyword argument to open-stream when creating a printer stream, if the filename was specified in that manner. nil is returned if no filename has been specified. t is returned if the user specified a file name interactively by using the Print to File option on the printer dialog.

Ideally this property would hold the path that a user specifies when exiting the Print Job dialog after checking the Print to file check-box, but in fact there is no way in Windows to retrieve this path. It may be preferable to pass the filename argument to open-stream. See pop-up-printer-job-dialog for related arguments.

This generic function is not setf'able.
