ppdof

ppdof(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  ppdof(8)

NAME

       ppdof - Text to PostScript translation filter

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lbin/ppdof +Cfilename  [-n login] [-h host] [...]

OPTIONS

       Use  of the print flags is dependent on the features available on the print device, and on the current status of those features.  For exam-
       ple, when you select a particular paper size, the appropriate paper must be correctly loaded in the paper trays.

   Options in /etc/printcap
       The following options are set in the /etc/printcap file and can be specified using the + switch. For example:  :if=/usr/lbin/ppdof  +Bupper
       +Cln32.rpd:

       You  can  also  specify	command  line  options	in the /etc/printcap file using the + switch. For example: :if=/usr/lbin/ppdof +Olandscape
       +Cln32.rpd:

       Here, the -Olandscape option is specified.  Specifies the default tray name to select for printing the banner page.  For example:
	:of=/usr/lbin/ppdof +Bupper +Cln32.rpd:

	      In this example, the banner page will be printed on whatever stock is currently loaded into the upper tray  on  the  selected  print
	      device.	Specifies the printer configuration file to use for the print job.  Specifies the unit of measurement to be inches or cen-
	      timeters for lines per inch (lpi), characters per inch (cpi), and page margin options. The default value is inches.   Specifies  the
	      default tray name to select for printing the trailer page.  For example: :if=/usr/lbin/ppdof +olower +Cln32.rpd:

   Command Line Options
       Specify	print  filter options at the command line using the lpr command as follows. Multiple -O options are supported.	Specifies the host
       name from which the job owner is submitting the print command.  Specifies the login (account) name of the job owner.  Specifies the name of
       the output tray where the printed pages are placed.  Specifies the page width in columns for portrait and landscape printing.  A page width
       of 0 instructs the filter to use 80 columns in portrait orientation and 132 columns in landscape orientation.  Specifies the tray name from
       which  print  paper is selected. The printer may select an alternate tray when the paper size provided in the tray does not match the docu-
       ment requirements.  Specifies the number of sides to print on each sheet. You can specify sides as follows: 1 or one - Print on one side of
       the  sheet.  2 or two - Print on both sides of the sheet (duplex printing).  Specifies options related to page orientation, formatting, and
       features as follows: Specifies the number of characters to print per inch.  Specifies only even numbered sheets are to be printed.   Speci-
       fies  the  printed output is parallel to the long side of the page.  Specifies the number of lines to print per page.  Specifies the number
       of lines to print per inch.  Specifies only odd numbered sheets are to be printed.  Specifies the range of pages to  be	printed,  starting
       with  page number m and ending with page number n.  Specifies to print the list of options provided by the printer configuration file which
       includes paper sizes, input and output paper tray names. For example: # lpr -Oprint /etc/motd

	      (Note that the file /etc/motd is specified to satisfy lpr command line requirements, the file itself is not printed.)  Specifies the
	      printed  output is parallel to the short side of the page.  These options specify the various page margins in inches.  The page mar-
	      gin sizes in inches as follows: tm= - Top margin in inches. For example -Otm=2 bm= - Bottom margin in inches. For  example  -Obm=1.5
	      lm=  -  Left  margin  in	inches.  For example -Olm=1 rm= - Right margin in inches. For example -Orm=3 pm= - Page margin. Using this
	      option sets tm, bm, lm and rm to the same value. For example -Opm=1.25 When configuring the /etc/printcap entry,	different  margins
	      for  landscape  and  portrait  orientation  can  be  specified  by  adding  the  suffixes  _l  and  _p  respectively.   For example:
	      :if=/usr/lbin/ppdof +Olm_p=0.5 +Olm_l=0.25 +Cln32.rpd:

DESCRIPTION

       The ppdof filter translates ASCII to PostScript and handles the device dependencies of a PostScript printer.

       It is recommended that the ppdof filter be specified for both the :of and the :if fields in the /etc/printcap file.  For a  description	of
       these fields, see the printcap(4) reference page.

RESTRICTIONS

       The  commands  generated  by  the  ppdof filter to handle device dependencies might be incompatible with some PostScript documents.  When a
       PostScript file does not print correctly use the following command to prevent file preprocessing.  # lpr -x file.ps

       The filter will not setup device dependencies or provide ASCII to PostScript translation for documents containing printer  control  charac-
       ters.

EXIT STATUS

       Any value other than zero (0) indicates that an error has occurred.

ERRORS

       Use the lf error log field in the /etc/printcap to specify the name of the error log file.
