NAME

       lp, lpd - copy a file to the line printer

SYNOPSIS

       lp [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Each file argument to lp is send to the line printer to be printed.  Standard input is read and printed if there are no arguments.  Lp exe-
       cutes /usr/lib/lpd with each file as input.  Lpd puts the file in /usr/spool/lpd and starts printing the jobs on /dev/lp unless another lpd
       is  already  running.   If  lpd finds any character in the input that it doesn't know how to handle then it will print the rest of the file
       without any special treatment.  This also means that no formfeed is sent after the file has been printed to force out the page.	Lpd simply
       assumes that you know what you are doing.  (dumb, eh?)

       Note:  Don't do anything with a file until it is printed, lpd only makes a copy of a file in the spool directory when it is not world read-
       able.  If it can be read then it is printed directly.

FILES

       /usr/spool/lpd/jobXXXXX
			   Information about a job.

       /usr/spool/lpd/tmpXXXXX
			   Associated file to be printed.

       /etc/termcap	   The 'lp' entry describes the printer by the "li#" and "co#" fields.	By  default  66  lines	(li#66),  and  80  columns
			   (co#80).

SEE ALSO

       lp(4), termcap(5), termcap(7).

BUGS

       Not spooling a world readable file may not be such a smart idea.

       A formfeed should be printed and the printer reset after a job full of escape codes, but this may cost paper.

NAME

       efax-gtk-socket-client - a client of efax-gtk to work with lpd/lprng

SYNOPSIS

       efax-gtk-socket-client [hostname] [port]

DESCRIPTION

       This program enables lpd/lprng to access the efax-gtk socket server. Meaning the user can send faxes to a printer, which will ack as a fax.

       It  takes  two arguments - first a hostname to connect to, and secondly a port number at that hostname to connect to.  All efax-gtk-socket-
       client does is to read from standard input (in this case from lpd/lprng) and passes it to a socket at the hostname and port  number  passed
       as arguments to it (namely the hostname of the computer efax-gtk is running on - normally you would specify localhost - and the port number
       of the socket).

       fax:
	    :sd=/var/spool/fax:
	    :mx#0:
	    :sh:
	    :lp=/dev/null:
	    :if=/var/spool/fax/efax-gtk-faxfilter:

       This will cause a printer by the name of "fax" to be available, which (if printed to) will send the file to the efax-gtk socket server.	If
       you  set  efax-gtk  to  listen on a port other than port 9900, you will need to amend the file /var/spool/fax/efax-gtk-faxfilter by hand to
       specify the correct port number on which efax-gtk is listening.

       Don't forget to restart the lpd printer daemon after amending /etc/printcap.

OPTIONS

       [ hostname ] - The name of the host to listen to. Usually should be locahlhost.
       [ port ] - the port number to listen to on the [ hostname ].
