_l_a_s_e_r_j_e_t_P_S is a System V printer driver for HP LaserJet printers that
support PostScript. The driver currently supports the HP LaserJet 5SiMX,
5M, 5MP. _l_a_s_e_r_j_e_t_P_S reads PostScript from standard in, writes PJL
commands to implement the command line options to standard output, and
then writes the input PostScript file to standard out. The PJL commands
generated vary based on the command line options passed to the driver.
_l_a_s_e_r_j_e_t_P_S uses _l_i_b_p_o_d(_3) functions to keep the printer object database
(POD) current.
The output from the _l_a_s_e_r_j_e_t_P_S driver is typically piped to the
_p_h_a_n_d_l_e_r(_1) driver or the _n_e_t_h_a_n_d_l_e_r(_1) driver for delivery to the
printer. This is done in the _l_a_s_e_r_j_e_t_P_S__m_o_d_e_l file found in
/var/spool/lp/model.
The _l_a_s_e_r_j_e_t_P_S driver opens and updates the POD files for the specified
printer. The file <_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e>._c_o_n_f_i_g contains the detailed information
on the printer's capabilities, <_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e>._s_t_a_t_u_s contains the
information on operational status of the printer, and <_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e>._l_o_g
contains the information on print job history. For more information on
printer database files refer to the _l_i_b_p_o_d(_3) man page.

----PPPP _p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e
Required: Specifies the printer name, as installed under the
SGI spooler, and as visible in the printer manager.
----ssss Specifies that the driver should exit after ascertaining
printer status and updating the POD status file.
----XXXX _X _r_e_s_o_l_u_t_i_o_n
Specify the X resolution. Valid values are "300" or "600".
Default is 600.
----YYYY _Y _r_e_s_o_l_u_t_i_o_n
Specify the Y resolution. Valid values are "300" or "600".
Default is 600.

----nnnn _n_u_m_c_o_p_i_e_s
Specifies the number of copies. When used, copies are not
collated.
----SSSS _p_a_p_e_r_s_i_z_e
Specify the paper size. The default page size is A. The paper
sizes vary by printer model.
----dddd _d_u_p_l_e_x_o_p_t_i_o_n
Controls the duplex option. Valid values are "off",
"bindShortSide" and "bindLongSide". Default is off.
----dddd _p_r_i_n_t_d_a_r_k_n_e_s_s
Specify the print darkness used by the printer. Used to
slightly change print density. Valid values are "Normal",
Light", "Dark" and "Economode".
----dddd _m_e_d_i_a_t_r_a_y
Specifies the input media tray to use. Valid values are
"upper", "lower", "either", or "manual". Use "manual" to put
printer into manual paper feed mode. Not supported for the HP
LaserJet 5SiMX (the 5SiMX automatically selects the input tray
based on the specified paper size).
----dddd _o_u_t_p_u_t_t_r_a_y
Specifies the output tray to use. Valid values are "top" and
"rear".
----BBBB _b_u_f_f_e_r_s_i_z_e
Size of buffer to use to read and write data. Specified in
bytes.
----cccc _p_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t__c_m_d
Can be used to specify a string to send to the printer
immediately after it has been switched into PostScript mode.
If -c is used multiple times each postscript_cmd will be sent
in the order presented on the command line. This option is
typically used to set PostScript polices for media trays and
paper sizes from within the lp model file.
----DDDD Turns on debugging information. Four levels of debugging
information are supported: none, coarse detail, medium detail,
and fine detail. These correspond to 0, 1, 2, and 3 or more ----DDDD
switches given on the command line. That is, multiple -D

options given on the command line result in progressively more
detailed debugging information.
----hhhh Prints a usage message.
----JJJJ Turns off PJL commands. If specified, PJL commands will not be
sent to the printer. Allows driver to be used with some
printers that do not support PJL commands.
----FFFF _F_i_l_e_F_o_r_m_a_t
Format of file to print. Currently, _F_i_l_e_F_o_r_m_a_t can only be set
to "pcl" (other names are ignored). If "pcl" is specified the
input stream is assumed to already be formatted for the printer
and is sent to the printer unaltered. Note that PJL is first
sent to the printer to setup options such as duplexer, paper
tray, etc. unless -J is also specified.
[inputfile]
Specify the name of the file to be printed. If _i_n_p_u_t_f_i_l_e is not
specified, then the driver reads the input from its standard
input.
