NAME

       lpdomatic - Foomatic filter script for LPD, LPRng, and GNUlpr

SYNOPSIS

       lpdomatic [OPTION]... <PPD-filename>

DESCRIPTION

       The  lpdomatic  print  filter  serves  as an input filter for the lp family of print spoolers. The print spooler will use it if there is an
       entry if=/usr/sbin/lpdomatic in the appropriate printer section in /etc/printcap. You can generate such an entry using foomatic-configure.

       A listing of the attached printer drivers options is printed, when the option docs is passed to this filter.  This can be achieved by issu-
       ing one of the following commands:

       for LPRng use
	      echo | lpr -Z docs

       for other spoolers
	      echo | lpr -J docs

   Options
       -j option (all but LPRng) Pass option to the printer driver.  May also be read from the environment.

       -J jobtitle
		 (LPRng only) Set the job title to jobtitle.  This may be used to set a title header when printing plain text.

       -Z option (LPRng only) Pass option to the printer driver.
