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