- NAME
- lp, lpd - copy a file to the line printer
- SYNOPSIS
- lp [file ...]
- DESCRIPTION
- Each file argument to lp is send to the line printer to be printed.
- Standard input is read and printed if there are no arguments. Lp
- executes /usr/lib/lpd with each file as input. Lpd puts the file in
- /usr/spool/lpd and starts printing the jobs on /dev/lp unless another lpd
- is already running. If lpd finds any character in the input that it
- doesn't know how to handle then it will print the rest of the file
- without any special treatment. This also means that no formfeed is sent
- after the file has been printed to force out the page. Lpd simply
- assumes that you know what you are doing. (dumb, eh?)
- Note: Don't do anything with a file until it is printed, lpd only makes a
- copy of a file in the spool directory when it is not world readable. If
- it can be read then it is printed directly.
- FILES
- /usr/spool/lpd/jobXXXXX
- Information about a job.
- /usr/spool/lpd/tmpXXXXX
- Associated file to be printed.
- /etc/termcap The 'lp' entry describes the printer by the "li#" and
- "co#" fields. By default 66 lines (li#66), and 80
- columns (co#80).
- SEE ALSO
- lp(4), termcap(5), termcap(7).
- BUGS
- Not spooling a world readable file may not be such a smart idea.
- A formfeed should be printed and the printer reset after a job full of
- escape codes, but this may cost paper.
- No banner page.
