directomatic

DIRECTOMATIC(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   DIRECTOMATIC(1)

NAME

       directomatic - Print without spooler

SYNOPSIS

       directomatic -P <printdef> [-J jobtitle] [-o option=value [...]] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Directomatic is a filter script to print with free software printer drivers without the need of a print spooler.  It is designed to be used
       together with a Foomatic printer definition file.

   Options
       -P <printdef>
		 where printdef is the printer definition file to use.

       -J <jobtitle>
		 where job title will be printed in the head line of every page of a plain text job.

       -o option=value
		 Set an arbitrary option.

       file	 The file to print.

   Commands
       Directomatic will print from standard input unless a file to print is specified on the command line.  If your printer definition file is in
       /etc/foomatic/direct or ~/.foomatic/direct you do not need to specify its path.	Put a (instructions in the file) to redirect the output of
       directomatic to your printer instead of standard output. To make normal users able to print this way add them to group lp and make sure the
       appropriate printer device file /dev/lpX is group-writable.

       See http://www.linuxprinting.org/direct-doc.html

FILES

       /etc/foomatic/direct/<queue>
				The foomatic printer definition file.

EXIT STATUS

       directomatic returns 0 unless something unexpected happens.

AUTHOR

       Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using output from the associated binary.

BUGS

       None so far.
