- The _t_e_x_t_p_s filter converts text to Postscript. It accepts
- ASCII text on standard input and sends PostScript language
- to standard output. The _t_e_x_t_p_s filter passes PostScript
- through without changing it.
-
- The _t_e_x_t_p_s filter allows page layout specification, but does
- not cause the text within a page to be rearranged. Text
- extending beyond the maximum image area, however, is
- truncated. The output defaults to the _C_o_u_r_i_e_r typeface.
-
- K-Spool usually uses _t_e_x_t_p_s in the pipeline of the input
- filter of a printer, usually _s_p_o_o_l_d_i_r/psif-_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e.

- Default page layout and rows/columns are overriden by
- entries from the ////eeeettttcccc////pppprrrriiiinnnnttttccccaaaapppp file (when the -_p_r_i_n_t_e_r
- option is given). The Imageable Area (which, by
- implication, resets the default margins) is read from
- SETUP.PPD in the current working directory. The following
- options will override those settings.
-
- ----ccccoooollll [[[[e]]]]_n
- Set the minimum number of columns per page to _n. When
- used with the eeee option, the number of columns is set to
- (exactly) _n. Defaults to a minimum of 80.
-
- ----llll [[[[e]]]]_n
- Set the minimum number of lines per page to _n. When
- used with the eeee option, the number of lines is set to
- (exactly) _n. Defaults to a minimum of 66. This option
- is often passed from llllpppprrrr,,,, which gets it from the _p_l
- field in /etc/printcap.
-
- ----lllleeeennnnggggtttthhhh _n

- Defaults to 8.5 inches.
