   Remarks
       The structure of these filters is currently  under  review.   They  may
       become obsolete or be restructured in a future release.

DESCRIPTION
       Various	filters are used by the subsystem to obtain specialized behav‐
       ior for specific types of devices or data.  This entry  describes  cur‐
       rently supported filters.

       A  number  of  these  filters  use a specified username and filename to
       determine the location of the user who originated the print message.

       The filename is used to determine the hostname of the system where  the
       request	originated,  and must have the form [dirname]or [dirname]where
       dirname is not a path name, but only the name of the basename's	parent
       directory.   filename  meets  this requirement when it is set to in the
       interface script for the printer.

   divpage
       Provides capabilities for printing multiple pages per sheet and	selec‐
       tion of built-in fonts.

       Options:

	      Set mode to portrait (default).

	      Set mode to landscape.

	      Print half pages (default).

	      Print quarter pages.

	      Use font number
			     FontID.   Default	is 0.  Causes the string to be
			     sent to the printer.  (The	 character  represents
			     the ESC character.)

   fontdl
       fontdl  downloads the font contained in filename to a printer connected
       to standard output.

       Options:

	      Specifies the ID number by which the font will be referenced.
			     Default is 0.

	      Specify landscape mode.
			     Default is portrait.

	      Specifies proportional spacing.
			     Default is fixed.

   lprpp
       This is a filter that converts backspace overstrike to  line  overprint
       with  horizontal	 print	positioning to enhance bold print.  This func‐
       tionality is required on printers such as the  LaserJet,	 which	cannot
       produce bold print by overstriking.

       Options:

	      Converts	<ANYCHAR>  to  <ANYCHAR><BACKSPACE>_ to italicize ANY‐
	      CHAR.
			     Also properly italicizes overstruck (bold)	 char‐
			     acters.   Does  work  correctly for "hashed-over‐
			     strike" such as:

				  <ANYCHAR><BACKSPACE><DIFFERENTCHAR><BACKSPACE>_

	      Prints only the odd numbered pages.
			     Used with for double-sided printing.

	      Print only the even numbered pages.
			     Used with for double sided printing.

	      Specifies the page length, in lines.
			     Default is 60 unless -n or	 -p  is	 selected,  in
			     which case it is 66.

	      Specifies nroff mode for printing output of the
			     nroff command.  Prints 66 lines per page with the
			     first line appearing on logical  line  4  of  the
			     printer.

	      Specifies pr mode for printing output from the
			     pr	 command.   Prints  66 lines per page with the
			     first line appearing on logical  line  3  of  the
			     printer.

   plotdvr
       HP-GL  plotter  filter.	 This  filter scans the data for "PG" commands
       (paper feed).  When this data is encountered, the filter strips it from
       the  data  stream and informs the requesting user of the need to change
       paper in the plotter.

       Options:

	      Specifies the printer request ID and is used in various
			     messages regarding the plot request.

	      The requesting user's login name, used to communicate
			     with the user regarding the request.

	      Specifies the use of escape sequences, rather than HP-GL
			     commands, to determine plotter status.

	      Plot without stopping for paper changes.
			     The "PG" commands are not stripped from the  data
			     stream  and  the  user  is	 not notified of them.
			     This option is used on plotters capable of	 auto‐
			     matic page feed.

	      Prevents initialization of the plotter.

   printstat
       Interrogates  an	 RS232	printer	 as to its status, and does not return
       until the printer is ready.  If the printer is off-line, out of	paper,
       or disconnected, the submitter of the print request is notified of this
       condition periodically until it is  corrected.	When  the  printer  is
       ready to print, the command exits.

       Standard input and standard output must both be connected to the serial
       printer device.

       This program uses the send-status command to  determine	status.	  (The
       characters  and	represent  the	ESC  or and DC1 or characters, respec‐
       tively.)	 Not all serial printers respond to this  command.   Only  the
       following configurations support this command:

		      ┌─────────────┬──────────────────────────┐
		      │	 Printer    │	      Comments	       │
		      ├─────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
		      │LaserJet	    │ Not supported	       │
		      │LaserJetII   │ Supported		       │
		      │LaserJetIID  │ Requires HP26013A module │
		      │LaserJetIIP  │ Not supported	       │
		      │LaserJetIII  │ Requires HP26013A module │
		      │LaserJet2000 │ Not supported	       │
		      └─────────────┴──────────────────────────┘
       Options:

	      Print request ID used in various communications with the user.

	      The requesting user's login name, used to communicate
			     with the user regarding the request.

   reverse
       Prints  the  data appearing on the standard input in reverse page order
       to the standard output.	This command can handle up to 2000 pages.

	      Specifies the page length, in lines.
			     Default is 66.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Error and diagnostic messages appear on	the  printed  output,  on  the
       user's terminal, or are mailed to the user, depending on circumstances.

WARNINGS
       There is little consistency in the interface to these filters.
