- _l_p_t_o_p_s converts a text file into a PostScript file for printing on
- an Apple LaserWriter, or any other PostScript-compatible output
- device. It supports selection of a variety of fonts at arbitrary
- point sizes, margin specification, portrait and landscape page
- orientation, automatic page numbering, page outlining, and multi-column
- printing.
-
- This program is usually used to print ascii text files. However, it can
- also be used to print files which contain ISO 8859-1 characters. To
- print a file with ISO 8859-1 characters, specify a text font, such as the
- default Courier font.
-
- In the option descriptions below, physical dimensions described as # may
- be specified as a single number with an optional fractional part, and a
- required two-letter unit designator. Letter case is ignored. Possible
- forms are:
-
- #.##bp big point (1in=72bp) [Courier: 120.000/Pbp cpi]
- #.##cm centimeter [Courier: 4.233/Pcm cpi]
- #.##in inch [Courier: 1.667/Pin cpi]
- #.##mm millimeter (10mm=1cm) [Courier: 42.333/Pmm cpi]
- #.##pt point (72.27pt=1in) [Courier: 120.450/Ppt cpi]
-
- The bracketed values give the number of characters per inch (cpi) for a
- point size of P units with the fixed-width Courier font.
-
- Options are parsed left to right. So, always the most recent option is
- considered when there is a conflict. For example,
-
- llllppppttttooooppppssss ----UUUU ----XXXX
-
- here, -X will be considered.
-
- The letter case is ignored in the options and the following options may
- appear in any order.
-
- ----BBBB # Bottom margin of #.
-
- ----CCCC _n Print _n copies of each page.

-
-
-
- ----DDDD Use the Standard PostScript character set for text fonts. If this
- option is not specified, the program will check whether the
- specified font contains ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) characters. If so, it
- will use the ISO 8859-1 character set. Otherwise, it will use the
- default character set for the specified font.
-
- ----EEEE _h_e_a_d_e_r
- The header string will be used to print the gaudy header if ----GGGG
- option is turned on. This flag has no effect if ----GGGG is not used.
-
- ----FFFF _f_o_n_t_n_a_m_e
- PostScript fontname. Possible values with acceptable short
- abbreviations (formed from the upper-case letters in the font
- names) are as follows. The following 35 typefaces are available
- on most of the PostScript printers. Some old printers may support
- only the first 13 typefaces.

-
- The user is not limited to the above 35 typefaces. If there are any
- additional fonts that have been downloaded into the PostScript
- printer, then they can be used by specifying them through fontname.
- If the requested font is not found, then the PostScript interpreter
- will substitute it with a Courier font.
-
- Only the Courier fonts have fixed widths like typewriter and line
- printer fonts. The others are proportionally spaced for improved
- readability, and consequently, tabular material will not line up
- properly with them.
-
- ----GGGG Turn on page decorations. Prints Date,Time,File name and Page
- number. If a header is specified with the ----EEEE option, it will
- override file name.
-
- ----HHHH Horizontal page orientation (landscape mode) instead of vertical
- page orientation (portrait mode).
-
- ----IIII # Top margin of # for initial page (for letterheads); if not
- specified, it will default to the value given for the top margin
- by default or by the -T# command.
-
- ----JJJJ _p_r_i_n_t_e_r
- The printer on which the document ( output ) is going to be printed.
- The printer has to be installed on the system. If this option is not
- specified, _l_p_t_o_p_s assumes 8.5x11in page size and 0.35in margins.
-
- ----KKKK _n The maximum number of lines to be printed on the page. Default is 66
- lines.
-
- ----LLLL # Left margin of #.
-
- ----MMMM _n Multiple column output (n columns). In multiple column mode,
- formfeeds cause column breaks instead of page breaks.
-
- ----NNNN [_t_b][_l_c_r]_n
- Number output pages. The number is placed by default in the center
- of the top margin, but the margin can be selected explicitly by
- t (top) or b (bottom), and the position of the page number can be
- further specified by l (left), c (center), or r (right). If an
- initial top margin value is given with the -I# option, numbering
- will be omitted on the first page if it is at the top. Pages are
- unnumbered if this option is not specified.

-
- ----OOOO # Draw a # unit wide outline for pages/columns. In multi-column mode a
- rectangular box is drawn around each column. A 0.4pt width outline
- is an optimal choice for this option.
-
- ----PPPP # Font point size. The point size also determines the interline
- spacing.
-
- ----QQQQ Turn on debug messages.
-
- ----RRRR # Right margin of #.
-
- ----TTTT # Top margin of #.
-
- ----UUUU Output pages in unsorted (first to last) order instead of in
- sorted (page reversed) order; some PostScript printers have page
- handlers that stack the paper in this order. The default is sorted
- because this is appropriate for the most common PostScript
- printer,the Apple LaserWriter. Note that the newer Apple LaserWriter
- II series stacks pages reversed. Therefore, the ----UUUU option should be
- used when sending print jobs to a LaserWriter II printer.
-
- ----VVVV Vertical page orientation (portrait mode) instead of Horizontal
- page orientation (landscape mode).
-
- ----WWWW Wraps long lines in the text instead of clipping them. _l_p_t_o_p_s reads
- the character width information from fontmetric files in
- /usr/lib/DPS/AFM to do the line width calculations. If the requested
- font's fontmetrics file is not found, then _l_p_t_o_p_s ignores this
- switch and defaults to clip mode. Default mode is to clip text in
- long lines.
-
- ----XXXX Output pages in sorted (last to first) order instead of in
- unsorted (-U option) order; some printers have page handlers
- that stack the paper in this order. The default is sorted because
- this is appropriate for the most common PostScript printer, the
- Apple LaserWriter.
