- at the top of each page which contains the file name,
- creation date, and page number.
-
- Syntax: LP [d][path]filename[.ext] [/6][/8]
- [/L1][/L2]
- [/10][/12][/17]
-
- Remarks: The default is 88 lines per page. For 66 lines per
- page, specify the /6 option.
-
- The default printer is LPT1. For LPT2, specify /L2.
-
- The default is 12 CPI. For 10, specify /10; for 17,
- specify /17.
-
- If the input filename is omitted, you are asked for it.
-
- Each page is numbered and contains a title consisting
- of the file name and creation date.
-
- Control characters sent to the OKI printer include
- TAB settings. The control codes can be changed for
- use with other printers.
-
- If a print spooler is used, DO NOT use LP while using
- the DOS PRINT command.

- Version 1.1, April 27, 1984.
- Version 1.2, Sept 12, 1984.
- Version 1.4, Aug 14, 1985.
- Because some print spoolers do not handle Int 17h
- this version uses function 21 to write to the printer.
- It is slower than 1.2.
