Printer ConfigurationD1123719722Auriel (82.182.149.46)#The Plan 9 print spooler lp does not take the same arguments as the#BSD lpr, nor as the lp that ships with some Unixes. It is worth#reading the manual page lp(8) to get up to speed on useful options.#The file /sys/lib/lp/devices contains example devices for printing#to printers on parallel ports or BSD lpr-based queues.##NON-POSTSCRIPT PRINTERS##In the most recent releases, lp can send to any printer whose format#is output by Ghostscript (in addition to the usual Postscript#printers). If you have a Ghostscript-supported printer, use#``gs!devicename'' instead of ``post'' or ``post2''. Follow the#example for canonbjc240l in the devices file.##NETWORK PRINTERS##To print to printers that speak BSD lpr (such as those using HP#JetDirect cards) follow the example for vogon in /sys/lib/lp/devices.##Charles Forsyth has a small program and additions to lp to print to#Microsoft SMB print servers. For the distribution, see#[http://www.vitanuova.com/plan9/co/smb/index.html].##Set your default printer destination using the enviroment variable:##!         LPDEST##FONTS##Postscript printers may not have the correct fonts to print the#Plan9 manual pages and documents.
