[...] [accounting_file]
Specifies the host name of the job owner. Specifies the
amount of indentation. Specifies the page length in
lines. Specifies the login name of the job owner Selects
the output tray where the printed job will be deposited.
Refer to the lpr(1) reference page for more information.
Specifies the page width in columns. If the value is
greater than 80 the filter will switch to landscape printing.
Selects the input paper tray that supplies paper for
the print job. The tray names are printer dependent.
Refer to the lpr(1) reference page for more information.
Prints the job in a way specified by the sides variable.
The available options are: Print only on one side of the
sheet. Prints on both sides of the sheet. Prints the
page in the way specified by the orientation variable. The
available options are: The printed output is parallel to
the short side of the page. The printed output is parallel
to the long side of the page. Specifies the size of
the paper. The available sizes are: letter or A4. This
switch is specified after the filter specification in the
/etc/printcap file. For example:
:if=/usr/lbin/ln03rof -Sa4:
The default value is letter.
OPERANDS [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the file in which accounting information will be
recorded.
The ln03rof and related filters translate ASCII to
PostScript, handles the device dependencies of a
PostScript printer and performs some accounting functions.
PostScript printers print documents formatted in the
PostScript page description language only.
The ln03rof_isolatin1 and ln03rof_decmcs filters are
alternatives to ln03rof and affect how ASCII documents are
printed. They cause the encoding for ISO Latin1 or DEC
MCS to be used instead of the Adobe Standard Encoding.
The ln03rof filter will not translate PostScript documents.
The decision to translate a file is based on the
first two characters in the document. If they are %!, the
filter assumes the document has already been formatted in
PostScript. If the first two characters are not %!, the
filter assumes that the document is plain ASCII and translates
it into PostScript. The ln03rof filter maintains
accounting information only for documents that it translates.
The af field in the /etc/printcap file is used to
specify the accounting file.
It is recommended that the ln03rof filter be specified for
both the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file.
For a description of these fields, see the printcap(4)
reference page.
