NAME
plpprintd - Daemon for printing via PC from a Psion.
SYNOPSIS
plpprintd [-d] [-h] [-v] [-V] [-s spooldir] [-c print-cmd] [-p [host:]port] [long-options]
DESCRIPTION
plpprintd provides a print server for a Psion, connected to the PC. Using plpprintd, you can use the Psion's "Print via PC" feature to
access any printer, available on your PC. When receiving a print job, the data is converted to Postscript(R) and then send to a printer.
OPTIONS
-d, --debug
Enable additional debug messages and stay in foreground (do not fork).
-h, --help
Display a short help text and exit.
-v, --verbose
Increase verbosity
-V, --version
Display the version and exit
-s, --spooldir=dir
Specify a directory to use for temporary spool files. If this option is missing, a builtin default /var/spool/plpprint is used.
-c, --printcmd=cmd
Specify a command for actually sending a print job to the printer. The specified command must receive the data from its standard
input. If this option is missing, a builtin default lpr -Ppsion is used.
-p, --port=[host:]port
Specify the host and port to connect to (e.g. The port where ncpd is listening on) - by default the host is 127.0.0.1 and the port
is looked up in /etc/services. If it is not found there, a builtin value of 7501 is used.
FILES
@PKGDATA@/prolog.ps
contains the Postscript((R)) dictionary, needed for printing the jobs.
@PKGDATA@/fontmap
specifies the font mapping to be used. This file is used to convert the Psion's font names into valid Postscript((R)) font names.
Its format is described at the beginning of it. If a Psion font name is received which can not be found in this file, a builtin
default Courier is used.
BUGS
Using patterns in diagrams gives ugly results.
