lp - PostScript preprocessors
DESCRIPTION
These programs are part of the lp(1) suite. Each corresponds to a process in the -pprocess option of lp and exists as an rc(1) script in
/sys/lib/lp/process that provides an interface to a PostScript conversion program in /$cputype/bin/aux. The list of processors follows;
after each description is a bracketed list of lp options to which the processor responds:
generic
is the default processor. It uses file(1) to determine the type of input and executes the correct processor for a given (input,
printer) pair.
post passes PostScript through, adding option patches for paper tray information. This does not always work with PostScript generated on
other systems.
noproc passes files through untouched.
ppost converts UTF text to PostScript. [DLcfilmnorxy]
dvipost
converts tex(1) output to PostScript. [Lcinor]
g3post converts CCITT Group 3 FAX data to PostScript.
p9bitpost
converts a Plan 9 bitmap such as /dev/window to PostScript. [Lm]
tr2post
converts troff(1) output for device UTF (the default) to PostScript. [DLcimnorxy]
hpost adds a header page to the beginning of a PostScript printer job so that it may be separated from other jobs in the output bin. The
header has the image of the job's owner from the directory of faces (see face(6)). Page reversal is also done in this processor.

SEE ALSO lp(1)BUGS
The file command is not always smart enough to deal with certain file types. There are PostScript conversion programs that do not have
processors to drive them.

page - view FAX, bitmap, and PostScript files
SYNOPSIS
page file ...
DESCRIPTION
Page reads each file, either a CCITT Group 3 encoded file (such as a FAX page), Plan 9 bitmap file (see bitmap(6)), or PostScript in
sequence and displays it in its window. Pressing and holding button 1 permits panning about the page. Typing a q or control-D exits the
program. Typing any other character or clicking button 2 advances to the next file. Button 3 has a menu of the files to be selected for
viewing in any order.
When possible, page overlaps the read of the next page with the display of the current one.
Page calls gs(1) to convert PostScript files to Group 3 encoded files. All are converted before any pages are displayed. The menu then
displays one line for each page of the documents.
FILES
/lib/nyt/*
New York Times FAX files, updated daily.

DIAGNOSTICS
The mouse cursor changes to an arrow and ellipsis when page is reading a file.
BUGS
Page is written in ALEF and therefore has binaries only for MIPS, SPARC, and i386 machines.
If any of the files are PostScript, they all must be.

I am new to C. (used it some in college). We are migrating our c-code to 10.2.0.3.0. The programs compiled clean. However there were several warning messages that kick out. The most prominent warning is: ... (5 Replies)
Basically, I'd like to apply a printer tray selection on postscript files by means of a (Bash) shell script.
What works on a Xerox DocuColor 5000, is this (exemplified for one tray):
