.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
These programs are part of the
|
||
|
|
.IR lp (1)
|
||
|
|
suite.
|
||
|
|
Each corresponds to a
|
||
|
|
.I process
|
||
|
|
in the
|
||
|
|
.BI -p process
|
||
|
|
option of
|
||
|
|
.I lp
|
||
|
|
and exists as an
|
||
|
|
.IR rc (1)
|
||
|
|
script in
|
||
|
|
.B /sys/lib/lp/process
|
||
|
|
that provides an interface to a PostScript conversion program in
|
||
|
|
.BR /$cputype/bin/aux .
|
||
|
|
The list of processors follows;
|
||
|
|
after each description is a bracketed list of
|
||
|
|
.I lp
|
||
|
|
options to which the processor responds:

|
||
|
|
to PostScript.
|
||
|
|
This is used for files troff'ed on our
|
||
|
|
.SM UNIX
|
||
|
|
systems that do not handle

.I generic
|
||
|
|
is the default processor.
|
||
|
|
It uses
|
||
|
|
.IR file (1)
|
||
|
|
to determine the type of input and executes the correct
|
||
|
|
processor for a given (input, printer) pair.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.I hpost
|
||
|
|
adds a header page to the beginning of a PostScript printer
|
||
|
|
job so that it may be separated from other jobs in the output bin.
|
||
|
|
The header has the image of the job's owner from the directory of faces (see
|
||
|
|
.IR face (6)).
|
||
|
|
Page reversal is also done in this processor.

||
|
|
.B /dev/window
|

.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I file
|
||
|
|
command is not always smart enough to deal with certain file
|
||
|
|
types.
|
||
|
|
There are PostScript conversion programs that do not have processors to drive them.
