6# This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
7# parallel port.  No kind of filtering is done, so everything you pass
8# to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
9#
10# Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have
11# to choose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
12# otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
13#
14# For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
15# It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
16# different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
17# format.  For more information about apsfilter visit

20#
21# If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic, but do
22# also install the latest "ghostscript" package for best printer support.
23#
24# Do also refer to the "printing" section of the handbook.

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