DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The la88cof filter is used to filter  text  data  for  the
       LA88-C printer. The filter handles the device dependencies
       of the printer and performs accounting functions. At print
       job  completion  times,  accounting records are written to
       the file specified by the af field  in  the  /etc/printcap
       file.

       The  la88cof  filter can handle plain text files and files
       that have been preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file
       can  contain  non-ASCII  characters. The filter translates
       nroff control sequences for  underlining,  superscripting,
       and subscripting into the proper control sequences for the
       LA88-C printer.

       The la88cof filter can be the specified filter in both the
       of  and  the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For more
       information on these fields, see printcap(4).

       The LA88-C printer can be configured to use  the  software
       on-demand  loading  (SoftODL)  mechanism  to  print  userdefined
 characters (UDCs). See i18n_printing(5) for a more
       detailed description of SoftODL.

       To   enable   SoftODL   printing,  set  the  ys  field  in
       /etc/printcap to 256.  You can also set the default  SoftODL
  database,  style, and size by including the odldb and
       odlstyle options in the ya field.  If you specify a  value
       for the yt field, use fifo.  For more information on these
       fields, see printcap(4).

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The lpr command supports a number of options  and  associated
  arguments  to enable localization features supported
       by various printers. The following can be  used  with  the
       la88cof print filter: To specify the SoftODL database path
       To specify SoftODL font style and size

       For a complete description of the -A option and its  arguments,
 refer to lpr(1).

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The   lf   field  (default  value  is  /dev/null)  in  the
       /etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error log.
