40.Sh NAME
41.Nm lp
42.Nd printer port Internet Protocol driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Nm ifconfig
45.Ar lp0
46.Ar myaddress hisaddress
47.Op Fl link0
48.Pp
49.Cd "device ppbus"
50.Cd "device plip"
51.Cd "device ppc0 at isa? port? irq 7"
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The
54.Nm
55driver allows a PC parallel printer port to be used as a
56point-to-point network interface between two similarly configured systems.
57Data is transferred 4 bits at a time, using the printer status lines for
58input: hence there is no requirement for special bidirectional hardware
59and any standard AT-compatible printer port with working interrupts may be used.
