6 # This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
7 # parallel port. No kind of filtering is done, so everything you pass
8 # to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
10 # Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have
11 # to choose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
12 # otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
14 # For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
15 # It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
16 # different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
17 # format. For more information about apsfilter visit
19 # http://www.apsfilter.org/
21 # If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic, but do
22 # also install the latest "ghostscript" package for best printer support.
24 # Do also refer to the "printing" section of the handbook.
