+.Nd a utility for manipulating the lpt printer driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Fl e | i | p | s
+.Op Fl d Ar control_device
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is used to set either the interrupt-driven, extended, standard,
+or polling mode of individual
+.Xr lpt 4
+devices.
+When a printer is switched from
+a mode to another, this change will only take effect
+the next time the device is opened.
+.Pp
+Extended mode is anything the parallel port interface can support.
+For an
+ECP/ISA parallel port, it may be FIFO+DMA or ECP.
+.Pp
+The following command line options are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl e
+Turn on extended mode.
+.It Fl i
+Turn on interrupt-driven mode.
+.It Fl p
+Turn on polled mode.
+.It Fl s
+Turn on standard mode, i.e., turn off extended mode.
+.It Fl d Ar control_device
+Set the mode of the printer control device specified by
+.Ar control_device .
+The default value for
+.Ar control_device
+is
+.Pa /dev/lpt0.ctl .
+.El
+.Pp
+One of
+.Fl e , i , p
+or
+.Fl s
+must be specified.

+.Sh BUGS
+The control device name should never have been an option,
+but should have been an optional argument.
+Because of this, a single argument is treated as a device name.
