NAME
wwlpspr - Internationalized print command for PrintServer printer
SYNOPSIS
wwlpspr [-A "option_list"] filename...
OPTIONS
-A "option_list"
Specifies one or more options for the print job. These options,
delimited by spaces, must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Each
element of option_list includes a keyword, most of which require a
value assignment. See DESCRIPTION for a list of valid options.
OPERANDS
filename
Specifies the file to be printed.
DESCRIPTION
The wwlpspr command is used in place of the lpspr and lpr commands to print
local language (non-ASCII) files destined for the PrintServer printer. The
wwlpspr command indirectly invokes other commands, which may include iconv,
print filters, lpspr, and lpr, to ensure that files are correctly processed
in the appropriate outline font for the printer. To use the wwlpspr
command, your system must be running Version 5 or higher versions of
PrintServer software. This additional software includes the lpspr command
and corresponding reference page that are referred to in this discussion.
The quoted option_list for the -A option can include one or more of the
following options. Many of these options are passed to the lpspr or lpr
command. The wwlpspr command makes sure that all options are included at
the correct points in the processing pipeline.
flocale=locale_name
Specifies the locale for the source text file. Print filters use this
locale to validate the characters in the text. If the flocale option is
not set, the text is interpreted in the current locale. The flocale
setting is particularly important for correct interpretation of
characters in multibyte codesets.
plocale=locale_name
Specifies the locale for the printer. PrintServer printers are generic,
rather than language-specific, and are therefore suitable for use with
files in a variety of languages. For these printers, the plocale value
should match the font used in the text file. When the plocale value is
inappropriate for the font codeset, the printed output is useless.
To find out which fonts are available for a particular locale, refer to
the manpage for the corresponding codeset.
font=font_name
Specifies the outline font name for printing source text files on a
PostScript printer. For more information, refer to the entry for the
plocale option.
spcom
Enables space-compensation mode for languages, such as Thai, that
contain nonspacing characters. Nonspacing characters can combine with
other characters for display and therefore do not occupy space. Many
of the existing tools for text alignment do not handle nonspacing
characters properly. If you want to print Thai output from such
utilities, you should enable space compensation mode to ensure proper
text alignment in the printed file.
Space compensation is done line by line. The print filter keeps count
of the number of nonspacing characters found in a line. When two or
more consecutive spaces are encountered, the print filter inserts the
appropriate number of spaces, therefore compensating for spaces added
by the nonspacing characters.
Space-compensation mode is valid only for printing Thai characters.
tm Enables text morphing for Thai printing. Text morphing replaces some
characters with others to produce better output in desktop publishing
environments. Refer to Thai(5) for more details on text morphing.
Text morphing rules are proprietary. Therefore, text morphing is
supported only by Compaq Thai outline fonts and is available only for
PostScript printing.
width=number
Specifies page width in columns. The default is the value of the pw
field in the /etc/printcap file.
length=number
Specifies page length in lines. The default is the value of the pl
field in the /etc/printcap file.
indent=number
Specifies the indentation in columns. The default is 0.
orient=value
Specifies the page orientation, where value can be portrait or
landscape. The default is portrait.
intray=tray
Specifies the input tray. The tray value can be one of the following:
top The upper 250-sheet input tray
middle
The middle 250-sheet input tray
bottom
The large capacity input tray
lcit
The large capacity input tray
envelope
The LPS17 envelope tray
If you do not include the intray option, the input tray is determined
from the sheet option.
outtray=tray
Specifies the output tray. The tray value can be one of the following:
top Top tray, with face-down stacking
side
Side tray, with face-down stacking
face-up
Side tray, with face-up stacking.
upper
Upper tray on top of the printer
lower
Lower tray on top of the printer
lcos
Large capacity output stacker
If you do not include the outtray option, the default paper tray for
the printer is used.
pps=number
Specifies the number of pages to be printed on each sheet. The default
value for number is 1.
sides=value
Specifies single or double sided printing, where value is one or two,
respectively. The default is one.
copies=number
Specifies the number of copies. The default is 1.
sheet=sheet_size
Specifies the sheet size. The sheet_size value can be one of the
following:
letter or a
8.5 x 11 inches, 216 x 279 mm
ledger or b
11 x 17 inches, 279 x 432 mm
legal
8.5 x 14 inches, 216 x 356 mm
executive
7.5 x 10.5 inches, 191 x 254 mm
a5 5.8 x 8.3 inches, 148 x 210 mm
a4 8.3 x 11.7 inches, 210 x 297 mm
a3 11.7 x 16.5 inches, 297 x 420 mm
b5 7.2 x 10.1 inches, 176 x 250 mm
b4 10.1 x 14.3 inches, 250 x 353 mm
dl 4.3 x 8.7 inches, 110 x 220 mm
business_envelope
4.125 x 9.5 inches, 105 x 241 mm
7_envelope
3.875 x 7.5 inches, 99 x 191 mm
If you do not specify the sheet option, sheet_size is assumed to be
letter (8.5 x 11 inches).
queue=printer_queue_name
Specifies the name of the printer queue connected to the PrintServer
printer. If you do not specify this option, the job is sent either to
the printer specified by the PRINTER environment variable or the
default printer.
noburst
Suppresses printing of the burst page. If you do not specify this
option, the value of the sh field in /etc/printcap determines whether
the burst page is printed.
mail
Sends mail to the user when the print job is finished. If you do not
include this option, mail is not sent.
data=type
Indicates if a file is a PostScript or a text file, where type can be
post or ascii, respectively. There is no default setting. Using this
option suppresses the software's automatic detection of file type.
model=LPS17
Specifies the PrintServer model number. The wwlpspr command supports
only the PrintServer 17 product.
showpage
Appends a PostScript showpage operator to the output. This option is
useful for obtaining proof copies of Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
files. If you do not include this option, the showpage operator is not
appended.
tab=columns
Specifies the number of columns to expand each tab character. The
default value for columns is 8.
literal
Prints control characters in the text file and suppresses page breaks.
If you do not include this option, control characters are not printed
and page breaks are enabled.
profile=pathname
Uses the PostScript profile file specified by pathname for converting
plain text files to PostScript. Conversion to PostScript of file data
containing ASCII text requires a special PostScript profile file. If
you do not specify the profile option, the standard profile is used.
This file is named lpsasc2ps.psh and resides in the standard LPS
library directory as configured for your system.
EXAMPLES
The following example prints three copies of the new.index.c,
print.index.c, and more.c files with specific printer locale and fonts.
Moreover, each file is printed double-sided, 2 pages per side.
% wwlpspr -A "copies=3 plocale=zh_TW.dechanyu font=Sung-Light-CNS11643
sides=two pps=2 queue=lps17" new.index.c print.index.c more.c
