# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # $Id$ # # This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first # parallel port. No kind of filtering is done, so everything you # pass to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified. # # Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have to # chose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below), # otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd. # # For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package. # It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of # different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm) # format. If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic, # but do also install the "ghostscript" package. # # Do also refer to section 7 (Printing) of the handbook. A local copy # can be found under /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.{html,latin1}. # lp|local line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: # # Sample remote printer. The physical printer is on machine "lphost". # NB: you cannot perform any kind of local filtering directly. If # you need local filters (e.g. LF -> CR-LF conversion for HP printers), # create a filter script that recursively calls lpd with another -P # argument after filtering. # #remote|sample remote printer:\ # :rm=lphost:sd=/var/spool/output/lphost:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
