Arguments: printer
Returns a string such as "LPT1:" that names the port to which a
printer stream will print. If the printer stream is printing to a file
rather than a printer (as when the user selects the "Print to File"
check-box on the Print Job dialog), then the port-name property of the
printer stream will return nil rather than a
string, and the filename property of the printer
stream will return the path namestring of the file being printed to;
otherwise filename returns nil and port-name
returns a port-name string.
The port-name value is determined by the end user's choice of printer on the Print Job dialog that appears when a printer stream is opened, or according to the current Windows printer if the Print Job dialog is bypassed.
port-name is a
property of the printer class.
This generic function is not setf'able. You must specify a value for this property when a printer stream is created with open-stream using the :port-name initarg.
