5 # This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
6 # parallel port. No kind of filtering is done, so everything you
7 # pass to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
9 # Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have to
10 # chose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
11 # otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
13 # For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
14 # It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
15 # different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
16 # format. If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic,
17 # but do also install the "ghostscript" package.
19 # Do also refer to section 7 (Printing) of the handbook. A local copy
20 # can be found under /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.{html,latin1}.
22 # Banner pages are now suppressed by default. Remove the :sh:
23 # capability to turn them back on.
