                     13: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     14: .I Lp
                     15: provides the interface to any of the standard
                     16: DEC line printers on an LP-11 parallel interface.
                     17: When it is opened or closed, a suitable number
                     18: of page ejects is generated.
                     19: Bytes written are printed.
                     20: .PP
                     21: The unit number of the printer is specified by the minor device
                     22: after removing the low 3 bits, which act as per-device parameters.
                     23: Currently only the lowest of the low three bits is interpreted:
                     24: if it is set, the device is treated as having a 64-character set,
                     25: rather than a full 96-character set.
                     26: In the resulting half-ASCII mode, lower case letters are turned
                     27: into upper case and certain characters are escaped according to
                     28: the following table:
