+Overview
+.PP
+The line printer system supports:
+.IP \(bu 3
+multiple printers,
+.IP \(bu 3
+multiple spooling queues,
+.IP \(bu 3
+both local and remote
+printers, and
+.IP \(bu 3
+printers attached via serial lines that require
+line initialization such as the baud rate.
+.LP
+Raster output devices
+such as a Varian or Versatec, and laser printers such as an Imagen,
+are also supported by the line printer system.
+.PP
+The line printer system consists mainly of the
+following files and commands:
+.DS
+.TS
+l l.
+/etc/printcap printer configuration and capability data base
+/usr/lib/lpd line printer daemon, does all the real work
+/usr/ucb/lpr program to enter a job in a printer queue
+/usr/ucb/lpq spooling queue examination program
+/usr/ucb/lprm program to delete jobs from a queue
+/etc/lpc program to administer printers and spooling queues
+/dev/printer socket on which lpd listens
+.TE
+.DE
+The file /etc/printcap is a master data base describing line
+printers directly attached to a machine and, also, printers
+accessible across a network. The manual page entry
+.IR printcap (5)
+provides the authoritative definition of
+the format of this data base, as well as
+specifying default values for important items
+such as the directory in which spooling is performed.
+This document introduces some of the
+information that may be placed
