6*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
7*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# parallel port.  No kind of filtering is done, so everything you pass
8*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
9*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino#
10*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have
11*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# to choose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
12*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
13*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino#
14*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
15*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
16*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
17*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# format.  For more information about apsfilter visit

20*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino#
21*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic, but do
22*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# also install the latest "ghostscript" package for best printer support.
23*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino#
24*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# Do also refer to the "printing" section of the handbook.

37*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# local filters (e.g. LF -> CR-LF conversion for HP printers), create
38*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# a filter script that sends the proper escape sequence to the printer
39*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# and then concatenates stdin to stdout.
