Name
       la75of - LA75 dot matrix printer filter

Syntax
       /usr/lib/lpdfilters/la75of [-c] [-nlogin] [-hhost] [-wwidth] [-lnum] [-iindent]	[accounting file]

Description
       The  filters  text  data  destined  for	LA75  compact  dot matrix printers. It handles the device dependencies of the printer and performs
       accounting functions.  As each job completes, the filter writes the accounting records to the file specified by the af  field  in  The  can
       handle  plain  ASCII  files as well as files that have been preprocessed by nroff. The filter correctly handles nroff control sequences for
       underlining, superscripting and subscripting.

       You can specify the filter in both the of and the if fields of the file.  For further information, see When you specify both fields, the of
       filter prints the banner page only; when of stops, the if filter gains access to the printer and maintains accounting information.

       If you specify the of field only, the filter prints the banner page then stops and restarts to maintain accounting information.

       If you specify the if field only, the banner page is sent directly to the printer. This is not a problem for most impact printers.

       For a more detailed discussion on filters see the article, ``Line Printer Spooler Manual'' in the ULTRIX Supplementary Documents, Volume 2:
       Programmer.

Options
       The arguments passed to the filter depend on its use.  The of filter is called with the following arguments:

       la75of -wwidth -llength
	      The width and length values come from the pw and pl fields in the database. The if (or restarted of) filter is passed the  following
	      arguments:

	la75of -c -nlogin -hhost -wwidth -lnum -iindent  accounting file
	      The  -c  flag  is optional and is supplied only when control characters are to be printed. That is, when the -l option of is used to
	      print the file. The -w and -l arguments are the same as for the of filter but might have	different  values  if  the  -w	and/or	-z
	      options of were used to print the file.  The -n and -h arguments specify the login name and host name of the job owner.  These argu-
	      ments are used to record accounting information.	The -i option specifies the amount of indentation to be used.  The  last  argument
	      is the name of the accounting file specified from the af field in the database.

Diagnostics
       The lf field (default /dev/null) in the database specifies the error logging file name.
