5230557Sjimharris# This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
6230557Sjimharris# parallel port.  No kind of filtering is done, so everything you pass
7230557Sjimharris# to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
8230557Sjimharris#
9230557Sjimharris# Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have
10230557Sjimharris# to choose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
11230557Sjimharris# otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
12230557Sjimharris#
13230557Sjimharris# For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
14230557Sjimharris# It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
15230557Sjimharris# different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
16230557Sjimharris# format.  For more information about apsfilter visit

20230557Sjimharris# If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic, but do
21230557Sjimharris# also install the latest "ghostscript" package for best printer support.
