lp - PostScript preprocessors
DESCRIPTION
These programs are part of the lp(1) suite. Each corresponds to a process in the -pprocess option of lp and exists as an rc(1) script in
/sys/lib/lp/process that provides an interface to a PostScript conversion program in /$cputype/bin/aux. The list of processors follows;
after each description is a bracketed list of lp options to which the processor responds:
generic
is the default processor. It uses file(1) to determine the type of input and executes the correct processor for a given (input,
printer) pair.
post passes PostScript through, adding option patches for paper tray information. This does not always work with PostScript generated on
other systems.
noproc passes files through untouched.
ppost converts UTF text to PostScript. [DLcfilmnorxy]
dvipost
converts tex(1) output to PostScript. [Lcinor]
g3post converts CCITT Group 3 FAX data to PostScript.
p9bitpost
converts a Plan 9 bitmap such as /dev/window to PostScript. [Lm]
tr2post
converts troff(1) output for device UTF (the default) to PostScript. [DLcimnorxy]
hpost adds a header page to the beginning of a PostScript printer job so that it may be separated from other jobs in the output bin. The
header has the image of the job's owner from the directory of faces (see face(6)). Page reversal is also done in this processor.

SEE ALSO lp(1)BUGS
The file command is not always smart enough to deal with certain file types. There are PostScript conversion programs that do not have
processors to drive them.

cupstestdsc - test conformance of postscript files (deprecated)
SYNOPSIS
cupstestdsc [ -h ] filename.ps [ ... filenameN.ps ]
cupstestdsc [ -h ] -
DESCRIPTION
cupstestdsc tests the conformance of PostScript files to the Adobe PostScript Language Document Structuring Conventions Specification ver-
sion 3.0. The results of testing and any other output are sent to the standard output. The second form of the command reads PostScript
from the standard input.
NOTES
This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.
cupstestdsc only validates the DSC comments in a PostScript file and does not attempt to validate the PostScript code itself. Developers
must ensure that the PostScript they generate follows the rules defined by Adobe. Specifically, all pages must be independent of each
other, code outside page descriptions may not affect the graphics state (current font, color, transform matrix, etc.), and device-specific
commands such as setpagedevice should not be used.

What does the warning message 724 "Cast converts default int return type to." tell me.
I am new to C. (used it some in college). We are migrating our c-code to 10.2.0.3.0. The programs compiled clean. However there were several warning messages that kick out. The most prominent warning is: ... (5 Replies)
Basically, I'd like to apply a printer tray selection on postscript files by means of a (Bash) shell script.
What works on a Xerox DocuColor 5000, is this (exemplified for one tray):
