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.
