Using plpprintd, you can use the Psion's "Print via PC" feature to access any printer, available on your PC. When receiving a print job, the data is converted to Postscript® and then send to a printer. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-d, --debug Enable additional debug messages and stay in foreground (do not fork). .TP .B \-h, --help Display a short help text and exit. .TP .B \-v, --verbose Increase verbosity .TP .B \-V, --version Display the version and exit .TP .BI "\-s, --spooldir=" dir Specify a directory to use for temporary spool files. If this option is missing, a builtin default .I /var/spool/plpprint is used. .TP .BI "\-c, --printcmd=" cmd Specify a command for actually sending a print job to the printer. The specified command must receive the data from its standard input. If this option is missing, a builtin default .I lpr \-Ppsion is used. .TP .BI "\-p, --port=[" host :] port Specify the host and port to connect to (e.g. The port where ncpd is listening on) - by default the host is 127.0.0.1 and the port is looked up in /etc/services. If it is not found there, a builtin value of @DPORT@ is used. .TP .SH FILES .TP @PKGDATA@/prolog.ps contains the Postscript® dictionary, needed for printing the jobs. .TP @PKGDATA@/fontmap specifies the font mapping to be used. This file is used to convert the Psion's font names into valid Postscript® font names. It's format is described at the beginning of it. If a Psion font name is received which can not be found in this file, a builtin default Courier is used. .SH BUGS Using patterns in diagrams gives ugly results. .SH SEE ALSO ncpd(8), plpnfsd(8), plpprintd(8), plpftp(1) and sisinstall(1) .SH AUTHOR Fritz Elfert
