       name -Lbnrname [ -iindent ] [ -Zoptions ] [ -Cclass ] [ -Jjob ] [ -Rac‐

DESCRIPTION
       Lpf  is	a  general printer filter. Usually it is used as filter in the
       printcap file and is called by lpd.  The -Tcrlf	option	will  suppress
       translation  of	LF  to CR/LF pairs.  The -Tdebug option will increment
       the debug level.

       The following options passes lpd by default:

       -Pprinter
	    The name of the printer.

       -wwidth
	    The page width in chars, as given in the :pw field in the printcap
	    file

       -llength
	    The	 page length in lines, as given in the :pl field in the print‐
	    cap file

       -xwidth
	    The page width in pixels, as given in the :px field in the	print‐
	    cap file

       -ylength
	    The page length in pixels, as given in the :py field in the print‐
	    cap file

       -Kcontrolfilename
	    The name of the control file.

       -Lbnrname
	    The banner name.  This is set by the lpr -T option.

       -nlogin
	    The user login name.

       -hHost
	    The host where the job was submitted.

       -Fformat
	    The job format from the lpr -F option or other option.

       These options are optionally set by lpd:

       -Zoptions
	    Extra options. They are passed from the -Z parameter given on  the
	    lpr command command line and can be interpreted by the filter.

       These  remaining options can be added to the filter entry in the print‐
       cap file:

       -c   ignore control characters, set by lpr -b (binary) or -l  (literal)
	    options.

       -iindent
	    The indentation amount, set by lpr -i indent option.

       -Cclass
	    The class name, set by lpr -C class option.

       -Jjob
	    The job name, set by lpr -J job option.

       -Raccntname
	    The name of the accounting file, from printcap information.

       -Dlevel
	    Sets  debug	 level.	 The level must be an integer, a nonzero value
	    switches debugging on.

       -Tcrlf
	    Turn LF to CR/LF translation off.

       -Tdebug
	    Increment the debug level.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       zero (0)	      Successful completion.

       non-zero (!=0) An error occurred.

FILES
       The files used by LPRng are set by values in the printer	 configuration
       file.  The following are a commonly used set of default values.
       /usr/local/etc/lpd.conf			    LPRng configuration file
       ${HOME}/.printcap			    user printer description file
       /usr/local/etc/printcap			    printer description file
       /usr/local/etc/lpd.perms			    permissions
       /var/run/lpd				    lock file for queue control
       /var/spool/lpd				    spool directories
       /var/spool/lpd/QUEUE/control		    queue control
       /var/spool/lpd/QUEUE/log			    trace or debug log file

DIAGNOSTICS
       Most of the diagnostics are self explanatory.
       If you are puzzled over the exact cause of failure,
       set the debugging level on (-D5) and run again.
       The debugging information will
       help you to pinpoint the exact cause of failure.
