NAME
       slp - set printing options for a non-serial printer

SYNOPSIS
       cols] indent] lines] pages] pages]

DESCRIPTION
       sets  printer  formatting options such as the number of lines per page,
       number of characters per line, and indentation.	These  characteristics
       are  controlled	by  the printer driver as described in lp(7).  acts on
       the current standard output.

   Options
       recognizes the following options and arguments:

	      Report all option settings.

	      Specify a character printer
			     where  backspace  characters  pass	 through   the
			     driver  unchanged.	  The  absence	of this option
			     indicates a line printer.	The driver  takes  the
			     necessary action to accommodate backspace charac‐
			     ters.

	      Resets the printer back to line-printer mode.

	      Limit the number of columns to be printed to
			     cols.  Characters beyond the specified limit  are
			     truncated.

	      Reset options to default for the device.
			     This  action  is  not  taken  until the next open
			     occurs on the device.

	      Indent	     indent columns before printing the first column.

	      Select cooked mode.
			     Cooked mode must be used  with  a	cooked	device
			     special   file  which  is	identified  by	an  lp
			     mnemonic that is not preceded by the character

	      Specify the number of
			     lines per page.  The last new-line	 character  of
			     each page is changed to a form-feed.

	      Set the page size to infinity.
			     Since  the	 last  new-line	 of  the page is never
			     encountered, no new-line characters  are  changed
			     to form-feeds.

	      Select a raw mode for graphics dumps.
			     All  other	 options  are  ignored	except	If the
			     option is not given, is assumed.

	      Eject zero or more
			     pages after the final close of the device.

	      Eject zero or more
			     pages when the device is opened.

EXAMPLES
       In a typical case, the printer is set to 80  columns,  no  indentation,
       with no form-feeds between pages:

WARNINGS
       Use  of	the  command in conjunction with the spooler (see lp(1)) might
       cause undesirable side effects.	The spooler model files	 make  assump‐
       tions regarding the configuration and can get confused when the default
       values are altered.  Although most options can be altered without  dif‐
       ficulty, special problems sometimes result from adjusting the number of
       lines and the number of columns per page.
