.TH LP 1
|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
lp, lpd \- copy a file to the line printer
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B lp
|
||||
.RI [ file " ...]"
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
Each file argument to
|
||||
.B lp
|
||||
is send to the line printer to be printed. Standard input is read and
|
||||
printed if there are no arguments.
|
||||
.B Lp
|
||||
executes
|
||||
.B /usr/lib/lpd
|
||||
with each file as input.
|
||||
.B Lpd
|
||||
puts the file in
|
||||
.B /usr/spool/lpd
|
||||
and starts printing the jobs on
|
||||
.B /dev/lp
|
||||
unless another
|
||||
.B lpd
|
||||
is already running. If
|
||||
.B lpd
|
||||
finds any character in the input that it doesn't know how to handle then it
|
||||
will print the rest of the file without any special treatment. This also
|
||||
means that no formfeed is sent after the file has been printed to force out
|
||||
the page.
|
||||
.B Lpd
|
||||
simply assumes that you know what you are doing. (dumb, eh?)
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Note: Don't do anything with a file until it is printed,
|
||||
.B lpd
|
||||
only makes a copy of a file in the spool directory when it is not world
|
||||
readable. If it can be read then it is printed directly.
|
||||
.SH FILES
|
||||
.TP 20
|
||||
.BI /usr/spool/lpd/job XXXXX
|
||||
Information about a job.

Associated file to be printed.
|

.B /etc/termcap
|
||||
The 'lp' entry describes the printer by the "li#" and "co#" fields. By
|
||||
default 66 lines (li#66), and 80 columns (co#80).

|
||||
.SH BUGS
|
||||
Not spooling a world readable file may not be such a smart idea.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
A formfeed should be printed and the printer reset after a job full of escape
|
||||
codes, but this may cost paper.
