3# This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
4# parallel port.  No kind of filtering is done, so everything you pass
5# to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
6#
7# Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have
8# to choose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
9# otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
10#
11# For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
12# It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
13# different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
14# format.  For more information about apsfilter visit
15#
16#	     http://www.apsfilter.org/
17#
18# If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic, but do
19# also install the latest "ghostscript" package for best printer support.
20#
21# Do also refer to the "printing" section of the handbook.

37# You can perform any kind of local filtering directly.  If you need
38# local filters (e.g. LF -> CR-LF conversion for HP printers), create
39# a filter script that sends the proper escape sequence to the printer
40# and then concatenates stdin to stdout.
