    Remarks    [Toc]    [Back]
      The structure of these filters is currently under review.  They may
      become obsolete or be restructured in a future release.

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      Various filters are used by the lp subsystem to obtain specialized
      behavior for specific types of devices or data.  This entry describes
      currently supported filters.

      A number of these filters use a specified username and filename to
      determine the location of the user who originated the print message.

      The filename is used to determine the hostname of the system where the
      request originated, and must have the form [dirname]/d?Annnhostname or
      [dirname]/dAnnnnhostname, where dirname is not a path name, but only
      the name of the basename's parent directory.  filename meets this
      requirement when it is set to $6 in the interface script for the
      printer.

    divpage
      Provides capabilities for printing multiple pages per sheet and
      selection of built-in fonts.

      Options:

           -p             Set mode to portrait (default).

           -l             Set mode to landscape.

           -h             Print half pages (default).

           -q             Print quarter pages.

           -nFontID       Use font number FontID.  Default is 0.  Causes the
                          string EC(FontIDX to be sent to the printer.

    fontdl
      fontdl downloads the font contained in filename to a printer connected
      to standard output.

      Options:

           -nFontID       Specifies the ID number by which the font will be
                          referenced.  Default is 0.

           -l             Specify landscape mode.  Default is portrait.

           -p             Specifies proportional spacing.  Default is fixed.

    lprpp
      This is a filter that converts backspace overstrike to line overprint
      with horizontal print positioning to enhance bold print.  This
      functionality is required on printers such as the LaserJet, which
      cannot produce bold print by overstriking.

      Options:

           -i             Converts <ANYCHAR> to <ANYCHAR><BACKSPACE>_ to
                          italicize ANYCHAR.  Also properly italicizes
                          overstruck (bold) characters.  Does not work
                          correctly for "hashed-overstrike" such as:

                               <ANYCHAR><BACKSPACE><DIFFERENTCHAR><BACKSPACE>_

           -o             Prints only the odd numbered pages.  Used with -e
                          for double-sided printing.

           -e             Print only the even numbered pages.  Used with -o
                          for double sided printing.

           -lnn           Specifies the page length, in lines.  Default is
                          60 unless -n or -p is selected, in which case it
                          is 66.

           -n             Specifies nroff mode for printing output of the
                          nroff command.  Prints 66 lines per page with the
                          first line appearing on logical line 4 of the
                          printer.

           -p             Specifies pr mode for printing output from the pr
                          command.  Prints 66 lines per page with the first
                          line appearing on logical line 3 of the printer.

    plotdvr
      HP-GL plotter filter.  This filter scans the data for "PG" commands
      (paper feed).  When this data is encountered, the filter strips it
      from the data stream and informs the requesting user of the need to
      change paper in the plotter.

      Options:

           -lrequest_id   Specifies the printer request ID and is used in
                          various messages regarding the plot request.

           -uusername     The requesting user's login name, used to
                          communicate with the user regarding the request.

           -e             Specifies the use of escape sequences, rather than
                          HP-GL commands, to determine plotter status.

           -f             Plot without stopping for paper changes.  The "PG"
                          commands are not stripped from the data stream and
                          the user is not notified of them.  This option is
                          used on plotters capable of automatic page feed.

           -i             Prevents initialization of the plotter.

    printstat
      Interrogates an RS232 printer as to its status, and does not return
      until the printer is ready.  If the printer is off-line, out of paper,
      or disconnected, the submitter of the print request is notified of
      this condition periodically until it is corrected.  When the printer
      is ready to print, the command exits.

      Standard input and standard output must both be connected to the
      serial printer device.

      This program uses the send-status command EC?D1? to determine status.
      Not all serial printers respond to this command.  Only the following
      configurations support this command:

                    _________________________________________
                    |  Printer    |         Comments         |
                    |_____________|__________________________|
                    |LaserJet     | Not supported            |
                    |LaserJetII   | Supported                |
                    |LaserJetIID  | Requires HP26013A module |
                    |LaserJetIIP  | Not supported            |
                    |LaserJetIII  | Requires HP26013A module |
                    |LaserJet2000 | Not supported            |
                    |_____________|__________________________|

 lpfilter(1)                                                     lpfilter(1)




           -lrequest-id   Print request ID used in various communications
                          with the user.

           -uusername     The requesting user's login name, used to
                          communicate with the user regarding the request.

    reverse
      Prints the data appearing on the standard input in reverse page order
      to the standard output.  This command can handle up to 2000 pages.

      Options:

           -lpage_length  Specifies the page length, in lines.  Default is
                          66.

 DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]
      Error and diagnostic messages appear on the printed output, on the
      user's terminal, or are mailed to the user, depending on
      circumstances.

 WARNINGS    [Toc]    [Back]
      There is little consistency in the interface to these filters.
