Settings for UNIX
It is this last name that the printer uses to determine which filters
to use.
Many different remote printer names may be set up, all directed
to the same Ethernet remote host, and each is given a different
local printer name to be redirected. Different types of print jobs
may be sent to different printer names, which will then all print
out on the same printer, through the same Ethernet interface, but
using different filters.
The remote printer name options used to invoke the different
filters are as follows:
All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as
lpb.
The following is an example of sending a text file, "txtfile", via lpr
with a form feed appended:
% lpr -plpaf txtfile
Setting Up Different UNIX Systems Using the
lpr Command
The following UNIX systems can print using the standard lpr
command.
lpb Binary files (no filters)
lpa ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends)
lpbf Binary file with form feed at file end
lpaf ASCII file with form feed at file end
