LPDFILTER(8)		    Printing with lpdfilter		  LPDFILTER(8)

NAME
       lpdfilter - Script collection for printing
       lprsetup - Configuration for using lpdfilter

SYNOPSIS
       lprsetup [options]
       lprsetup -help

DESCRIPTION
       lpdfilter  is  a collection of scripts to be used to print various data
       with lpr(1) and lpd(8).	To enable  this	 an  entry  for	 lpdfilter  in
       /etc/printcap is required (see printcap(5)).  This can be done by using
       the script lprsetup or calling YaST2 which its self uses lprsetup to do
       this.  Such an entry looks like:

       lp:\
	    :cm=lpdfilter drv=bjc600 method=auto color=no:\
	    :lp=/dev/lp0:\
	    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
	    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
	    :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
	    :if=/usr/lib/lpdfilter/bin/if:\
	    :la@:mx#0:\
	    :tr=:cl:sh:sf@:

EXAMPLES

       lprsetup -add lp -lprng -driver bjc600 -auto \
		-size a4 -dpi 360 -device /dev/lp0

       lprsetup

       The  first  call	 of  lprsetup  configures a printer queue lp with auto
       detection of the input (see file(1)), paper media size A4  and  resolu‐
       tion  360  DPI for a printer on the first parallel port usable with the
       ghostscript driver (see gs (1)).	 The second call  forces  lprsetup  to
       have a dialog with the caller for the configuration of a printer queue.

			  and global filter configuration
