- The file laser.c is the source to a program that will prepend the
- desired setup codes for the Hewlet Packard LaserJet Printers. It takes
- into account such things as page orientation, line spacing, typeface
- selection, and most, if not all of the other print attributes available
- on the LaserJet.
-
- To compile simply type "make" then install the program and manpage in the
- appropriate directories for your system. If anyone has any problems
- they can reply to me at the address below.
-
- The only system dependencies that I can think of off hand are the fact
- that the program uses 'getopt(3)' of which a PD version was posted a
- while back, and a selection of the print spooling program usually
- 'lpr(1)' or on System V 'lp(1)'. Either will work, there's even an
- option to allow results to be send to the standard output.
-
- Most of the typeface selections set default settings for other options
- in case you are lazy and only want to select a font by it's typeface
- name. One other VERY IMPORTANT point I would like to make is that if
- you don't have a particular font cartridge to use some of the features
- described in the source, then you can't get there from here...

- [ MODERATOR'S NOTE: The /lib/cpp on my 4.2BSD Vax750 couldn't deal
- with the long #define for HELP in the source; I added code to
- #ifdef it out, but note that the Makefile by default enables it.
- If get a "token too long" error, that's probably the cause. -r$ ]
