depends on what you want the file for.

If you are spooling /usr/var/spool/printername
you can stop the printer in unix using lpc
use your command to print to the printer
then nab the spool file.

la380kof
la380kof(8) System Manager's Manual la380kof(8)
NAME
la380kof - Filter for the Korean LA380 printer
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/la380kof [-c] [-h host] [-i indent] [-L locale] [-l length] [-n login] [-w width] [accounting_file]
OPTIONS
Prints control characters. Specifies the host name of the job owner. This name can contain Korean characters. Specifies the amount of
indentation. The default value is no (no indentation). Specifies the page length in lines. The default value is 66. Specifies the printer
codeset. This value must be a valid locale name. The default value is ko_KR.deckorean. Specifies the login name of the job owner. This
name can contain Korean characters. Specifies the page width in columns. The default value is 132.
OPERANDS
Specifies the file to record accounting information.
DESCRIPTION
The la380kof filter filters text data for the LA380-K printer. The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer and performs
accounting functions. At print job completion times, accounting records are written to the file specified by the af field in the
/etc/printcap file.
The la380kof filter can handle plain text files and files that have been preprocessed by nroff. Either kind of file can contain non-ASCII
characters. The filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control
sequences for the LA380-K printer.
The la380kof filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For more information on these
fields, see printcap(4).
The LA380-K printer can be configured to use the software on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print user-defined characters (UDCs).
Refer to i18n_printing(5) for a more complete description of SoftODL.
To enable SoftODL printing, set the ys value in /etc/printcap to 256. You can also set the default SoftODL database, style and size by
using the odldb and odlstyle options in the ya field. If you specify a value for the yt field, use fifo. Refer to printcap(4) for more
information on these fields and associated options.
NOTES
The lpr command supports a number of options and associated arguments to enable localization features supported by various printers. The
following can be used with the la380kof print filter: To specify the SoftODL database path To specify SoftODL font style and size
For a complete description of the -A option and its arguments, refer to lpr(1).
ERRORS
The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error log.
