NAME¶
plpprintd - Daemon for printing via PC from a Psion.
SYNOPSIS¶
plpprintd [-d] [-h] [-v] [-V] [-s
spooldir] [-c print-cmd] [-p
[host:]port]
[long-options]
DESCRIPTION¶
plpprintd provides a print server for a Psion, connected to the PC. Using
plpprintd, you can use the Psion's "Print via PC" feature to access
any printer, available on your PC. When receiving a print job, the data is
converted to Postscript® and then send to a printer.
OPTIONS¶
- -d, --debug
- Enable additional debug messages and stay in foreground (do
not fork).
- -h, --help
- Display a short help text and exit.
- -v, --verbose
- Increase verbosity
- -V, --version
- Display the version and exit
- -s, --spooldir=dir
- Specify a directory to use for temporary spool files. If
this option is missing, a builtin default /var/spool/plpprint is
used.
- -c, --printcmd=cmd
- Specify a command for actually sending a print job to the
printer. The specified command must receive the data from its standard
input. If this option is missing, a builtin default lpr -Ppsion is
used.
- -p, --port=[host:]port
- Specify the host and port to connect to (e.g. The port
where ncpd is listening on) - by default the host is 127.0.0.1 and the
port is looked up in /etc/services. If it is not found there, a builtin
value of 7501 is used.
FILES¶
- @PKGDATA@/prolog.ps
- contains the Postscript() dictionary, needed for printing
the jobs.
- @PKGDATA@/fontmap
- specifies the font mapping to be used. This file is used to
convert the Psion's font names into valid Postscript() font names. Its
format is described at the beginning of it. If a Psion font name is
received which can not be found in this file, a builtin default Courier is
used.
BUGS¶
Using patterns in diagrams gives ugly results.
