NAME¶
gpr - a graphical frontend for lpr.
SYNOPSIS¶
gpr [-h] [--help] [-P
<printer>] [-J
<job
name>] [-r] [-n] [-p
<flag>] [
filename]...
DESCRIPTION¶
gpr is a graphical interface to lpr that provides for easy configuration
of printer-specific options. gpr interfaces with a PostScript printer's PPD
file to create a user-interface of configurable options. Based upon user
choice, the device-specific option code is then inserted into the PostScript
job and sent to the printer. This can be used to tell the printer to duplex or
staple the print job, or tell it what paper tray to draw paper from. NOTE: gpr
will detect if the file to be print is postscript, and, if not, it will call
a2ps to preprocess it before sending it to ppdfilt and to lpr.
