psroff - troff to a POSTSCRIPT printer
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
ppppssssrrrrooooffffffff [ ----tttt ] [ _t_r_o_f_f _o_p_t_i_o_n_s ] [ _s_p_o_o_l _o_p_t_i_o_n_s ] [ _f_i_l_e_s ]
DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
_p_s_r_o_f_f is a shell script that runs troff(_1) in an environment to produce
output on a POSTSCRIPT printer. It uses _p_s_d_i_t to convert _t_r_o_f_f
intermediate output to POSTSCRIPT format, and spools this for printing.
If no _f_i_l_e_s are specified, the standard input is used.
For those interested in including arbitrary POSTSCRIPT language commands
or files in a _t_r_o_f_f document, see _p_s_d_i_t(_1).
In addition to the standard _t_r_o_f_f options, the following options are
understood by _p_s_r_o_f_f.
----tttt sends the POSTSCRIPT output to the standard output, rather than
spooling it to a printer. Note that this overrides the meaning of
the _t_r_o_f_f ----tttt option; if you want that, run _t_r_o_f_f directly.
----FFFF _f_o_n_t_f_a_m_i_l_y
use the specified font family for the R/I/B/BI fonts, rather than
the default family, which is _T_i_m_e_s. Fontfamilies _T_i_m_e_s, _C_o_u_r_i_e_r, and
_H_e_l_v_e_t_i_c_a are probably defined at your site, and others may be
available as well. Make sure the printer you will use contains the
font family you pick! Note that this overrides the meaning of the
_t_r_o_f_f ----FFFF option; if you want that, run _t_r_o_f_f directly, or use the ----DDDD
option.
----DDDD _f_o_n_t_d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y
find font family directories in the specified _f_o_n_t_d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y, rather
than the standard font directory which was configured in the
installation procedure. Note that it may be necessary to use both
this option and the ----FFFF option to imitate the ----FFFF option in _t_r_o_f_f.
The following spooler options are passed on to _l_p.
----dddd_d_e_s_t
causes the output to be sent to the named destination.
----nnnn_n causes _n copies of the output to be produced. The default is one.
----hhhh suppress the printing of the banner page.
----rrrr don't page-reverse the output.
----ssss suppress messages from _l_p.

----mmmm send mail after files have been printed.
----wwww write to user's terminal after files have been printed.
EEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT
LPDEST
the name of a printer (as in the ----dddd option) for _l_p to use. If no ----dddd
option is specified, _l_p will use this printer. If neither ----dddd nor
LPDEST is set, _p_s_r_o_f_f will spool to a printer class named
``PostScript''.
FFFFIIIILLLLEEEESSSS
/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.* - standard macro files
/usr/lib/font/devpsc/* - _t_r_o_f_f description files for POSTSCRIPT
virtual device.
BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
The _e_q_n supplied with _t_r_o_f_f is different than the original. Use the
options ----rrrr555577776666 ----mmmm2222 for best results. Other programs (e.g., _p_i_c)
distributed with _t_r_o_f_f have the device names compiled in (so much for
device independence!). They should just have a ----TTTT option and read the
device description file for the information they need. Use ----TTTT555577776666 with
the _p_i_c distributed with DDDDWWWWBBBB....
