39.Sh NAME
40.Nm lp
41.Nd parallel line printer
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Cd "lp0 at uba0 csr 0177514 vector lpintr"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
46.Bx 4.4
47yet.
48.Pp
49The
50.Nm lp
51device
52supports
53.Tn DEC
54and
55.Tn DEC
56compatible printers
57on the
58.Tn LP-11
59parallel interface.
60.Pp
61The unit number of the printer is specified by the minor device
62after removing the low 3 bits, which act as per-device parameters.
63Currently only the lowest of the low three bits is interpreted:
64if it is set, the device is assumed to have a 64-character set or
65.Pf half Tn -ASCII
66mode,
67rather than a full 96-character set.
68.Pp
69If the 64-character set is assumed,
70any lower case characters are mapped to upper case; left curly and
71right curly braces are mapped to left and right parentheses over
72laid with a hyphen; grave accents are mapped to acute accents
73with overlaid with a hyphen; the pipe bar character is mapped
74to an exclamation sign overlaid with a hyphen; and the tilde
75character is mapped to a carat overlaid with a hyphen.
76.Pp
77The default page width is 132 columns; longer lines are
78truncated.
79This may be overridden by specifying, for example,
80.Ql flags 256 .
