Usually it is used as filter in the printcap file and is called by lpd. The -Tcrlf option will suppress translation of LF to CR/LF pairs. The -Tdebug option will increment the debug level. The following options passes lpd by default: __-P__''printer'' The name of the printer. __-w__''width'' The page width in chars, as given in the :pw field in the printcap file __-l__''length'' The page length in lines, as given in the :pl field in the printcap file __-x__''width'' The page width in pixels, as given in the :px field in the printcap file __-y__''length'' The page length in pixels, as given in the :py field in the printcap file __-K__''controlfilename'' The name of the control file. __-L__''bnrname'' The banner name. This is set by the lpr -T option. __-n__''login'' The user login name. __-h__''Host'' The host where the job was submitted. __-F__''format'' The job format from the lpr -F option or other option. These options are optionally set by lpd: __-Z__''options'' Extra options. They are passed from the __-Z__ parameter given on the lpr command command line and can be interpreted by the filter. These remaining options can be added to the filter entry in the printcap file: __-c__ ignore control characters, set by lpr -b (binary) or -l (literal) options. __-i__''indent'' The indentation amount, set by lpr -i indent option. __-C__''class'' The class name, set by lpr -C class option. __-J__''job'' The job name, set by lpr -J job option. __-R__''accntname'' The name of the accounting file, from printcap information. __-D__''level'' Sets debug level. The level must be an integer, a nonzero value switches debugging on. __-T__''crlf'' Turn LF to CR/LF translation off. __-T__''debug'' Increment the debug level. !!EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: __zero (0)__ Successful completion. __non-zero (!=0)__ An error occurred. !!FILES The files used by LPRng are set by values in the printer configuration file. The following are a commonly used set of default values. /etc/lprng/lpd.conf LPRng configuration file ${HOME}/.printcap user printer description file /etc/lprng/printcap printer description file /etc/lprng/lpd.perms permissions /var/run/lprng/lpd lock file for queue control /var/spool/lpd spool directories /var/spool/lpd/QUEUE/control queue control /var/spool/lpd/QUEUE/log trace or debug log file /var/spool/lpd/QUEUE/acct accounting file /var/spool/lpd/QUEUE/status status file !!SEE ALSO lpd.conf(5), lpc(8), lpd(8), lpr(1), lpq(1), lprm(1), printcap(5), lpd.perms(5), pr(1). !!DIAGNOSTICS Most of the diagnostics are self explanatory. If you are puzzled over the exact cause of failure, set the debugging level on (-D5) and run again. The debugging information will help you to pinpoint the exact cause of failure. !!HISTORY LPRng is a enhanced printer spooler system with functionality similar to the Berkeley LPR software. The LPRng mailing list is lprng@lprng.com; subscribe by sending mail to lprng-request@lprng.com with the word subscribe in the body. The software is available from ftp://ftp.lprng.com/pub/LPRng. !!AUTHOR Patrick Powell ----
