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.
