35.Sh NAME
36.Nm lp
37.Nd parallel line printer
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "lp0 at uba0 csr 0177514 vector lpintr"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
42.Bx 4.4
43yet.
44.Pp
45The
46.Nm lp
47device
48supports
49.Tn DEC
50and
51.Tn DEC
52compatible printers
53on the
54.Tn LP-11
55parallel interface.
56.Pp
57The unit number of the printer is specified by the minor device
58after removing the low 3 bits, which act as per-device parameters.
59Currently only the lowest of the low three bits is interpreted:
60if it is set, the device is assumed to have a 64-character set or
61.Pf half Tn -ASCII
62mode,
63rather than a full 96-character set.
64.Pp
65If the 64-character set is assumed,
66any lower case characters are mapped to upper case; left curly and
67right curly braces are mapped to left and right parentheses over
68laid with a hyphen; grave accents are mapped to acute accents
69with overlaid with a hyphen; the pipe bar character is mapped
70to an exclamation sign overlaid with a hyphen; and the tilde
71character is mapped to a carat overlaid with a hyphen.
72.Pp
73The default page width is 132 columns; longer lines are
74truncated.
75This may be overridden by specifying, for example,
76.Ql flags 256 .
