+.Sh NAME
+.Nm printcap
+.Nd printer capability data base
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm printcap
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm Printcap
+function
+is a simplified version of the
+.Xr termcap 5
+data base
+used to describe line printers. The spooling system accesses the
+.Nm printcap
+file every time it is used, allowing dynamic
+addition and deletion of printers. Each entry in the data base
+is used to describe one printer. This data base may not be
+substituted for, as is possible for
+.Xr termcap ,
+because it may allow accounting to be bypassed.
+.Pp
+The default printer is normally
+.Em lp ,
+though the environment variable
+.Ev PRINTER
+may be used to override this. Each spooling utility supports an option,
+.Fl P Ar printer ,
+to allow explicit naming of a destination printer.
+.Pp
+Refer to the
+.%T "4.3 BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual"
+for a complete discussion on how to setup the database for a given printer.
+.Sh CAPABILITIES
+Refer to
+.Xr termcap 5
+for a description of the file layout.

+If the local line printer driver supports indentation, the daemon
+must understand how to invoke it.
+.Sh FILTERS
+The
+.Xr lpd 8
+daemon creates a pipeline of
+.Em filters
+to process files for various printer types.
+The filters selected depend on the flags passed to
+.Xr lpr 1 .
+The pipeline set up is:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+p pr | if regular text + pr(1)
+none if regular text
+c cf cifplot
+d df DVI (tex)
+g gf plot(3)
+n nf ditroff
+f rf Fortran
+t tf troff
+v vf raster image
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Sy if
+filter is invoked with arguments:
+.Bd -filled -offset indent
+.Cm if
+.Op Fl c
+.Fl w Ns Ar width
+.Fl l Ns Ar length
+.Fl i Ns Ar indent
+.Fl n Ar login
+.Fl h Ar host acct-file
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl c
+flag is passed only if the
+.Fl l
+flag (pass control characters literally)
+is specified to
+.Xr lpr .
+The
+.Ar Width
+function
+and
+.Ar length
+specify the page width and length
+(from
+.Cm pw
+and
+.Cm pl
+respectively) in characters.
+The
+.Fl n
+and
+.Fl h
+parameters specify the login name and host name of the owner
+of the job respectively.
+The
+.Ar Acct-file
+function
+is passed from the
+.Cm af
+.Nm printcap
+entry.
+.Pp
+If no
+.Cm if
+is specified,
+.Cm of
+is used instead,
+with the distinction that
+.Cm of
+is opened only once,
+while
+.Cm if
+is opened for every individual job.
+Thus,
+.Cm if
+is better suited to performing accounting.
+The
+.Cm of
+is only given the
+.Ar width
+and
+.Ar length
+flags.
+.Pp
+All other filters are called as:
+.Bd -filled -offset indent
+.Nm filter
+.Fl x Ns Ar width
+.Fl y Ns Ar length
+.Fl n Ar login
+.Fl h Ar host acct-file
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Ar width
+and
+.Ar length
+are represented in pixels,
+specified by the
+.Cm px
+and
+.Cm py
+entries respectively.
+.Pp
+All filters take
+.Em stdin
+as the file,
+.Em stdout
+as the printer,
+may log either to
+.Em stderr
+or using
+.Xr syslog 3 ,
+and must not ignore
+.Dv SIGINT .
+.Sh LOGGING
+Error messages generated by the line printer programs themselves
+(that is, the
+.Xr lp Ns *
+programs)
+are logged by
+.Xr syslog 3
+using the
+.Dv LPR
+facility.
+Messages printed on
+.Em stderr
+of one of the filters
+are sent to the corresponding
+.Cm lf
+file.
+The filters may, of course, use
+.Xr syslog
+themselves.
+.Pp
+Error messages sent to the console have a carriage return and a line
+feed appended to them, rather than just a line feed.
