18: DESCRIPTION
19: _V_p_r causes the named files to be queued for printing or
20: typeset simulation on one of the available raster
21: printer/plotters. If no files are named, the standard input
22: is read. By default the input is assumed to be line
23: printer-like text. For very wide plotters, the input is run
24: through the filter /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_s_i_d_e_b_y_s_i_d_e giving it an argument
25: of -w106 which arranges it four pages adjacent with 90
26: column lines (the rest is for the left margin). Since there
27: are 8 lines per inch in the default printer font, _v_p_r thus
28: produces 86 lines per page (the top and bottom lines are
29: left blank).
30:
31: The following options are available:
32:
33: -l Print the input in a more literal manner.
34: Page breaks are not inserted, and most con-
35: trol characters (except format effectors: \n,
36: \f, etc.) are printed (many control charac-
37: ters print special graphics not in the ASCII
38: character set.) Tab and underline processing
39: is still done. If this option is not given,
40: control characters which are not format
41: effectors are ignored, and page breaks are
42: inserted after an appropriate number of lines
43: have been printed on a page.
44:
45: -W Queues files for printing on a wide output
46: device, if available. Normally, files are
47: queued for printing on a narrow output dev-
48: ice.
49:
50: -1234 Specifies a font to be mounted on font posi-
51: tion _i. The daemon will construct a ._r_a_i_l_m_a_g
52: file referencing /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_v_f_o_n_t/_n_a_m_e._s_i_z_e.
53:
54: -m Report by _m_a_i_l(1) when printing is complete.
55:
56: -w (Applicable only to wide output devices.) Do
57: not run the input through sidebyside. Such
58: processing has been done already, or full
59: (440 character) printer width is desired.

73:
74: -w_w_i_d_t_h Use width _w_i_d_t_h rather than 90 for _s_i_d_e_b_y_-
75: _s_i_d_e.
76:
77: -v Use the filter /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_v_r_a_s_t to convert the
78: vectors to raster. The named files must be a
79: parameter and vector file (in that order)
80: created by _p_l_o_t(3X) routines.
81:
82: -t Use the filter /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_v_c_a_t to typeset the
83: input on the printer/plotter. The input must
84: have been generated by _t_r_o_f_f(1) run with the
85: -t option. This is not normally run directly
86: to wide output devices, since it is wasteful
87: to run only one page across. The program
88: _v_t_r_o_f_f(1) is normally used and arranges,
89: using _v_s_o_r_t for printing to occur four pages
90: across, conserving paper.
91:
92: _V_p_r_m removes entries from the raster device queues. The id,
93: filename or owner should be that reported by _v_p_q. All
94: appropriate files will be removed. Both queues are always
95: searched. The id of each file removed from the queue will
96: be printed.
97:
98: _V_p_q prints the queues. Each entry in the queue is printed
99: showing the owner of the queue entry, an identification
100: number, the size of the entry in characters, and the file
101: which is to be printed. The _i_d is useful for removing a
102: specific entry from the printer queue using _v_p_r_m
103:
104: _V_p_r_i_n_t is a shell script which _p_r'_s a copy of each named
105: file on one of the electrostatic printer/plotters. The
106: files are normally printed on a narrow device; -W option
107: causes them to be printed on a wide device.

121: BUGS
122: The 1's (one's) and l's (lower-case el's) in a Benson-
123: Varian's standard character set look very similar; caution
124: is advised.

140: A versatec's hardware character set is rather ugly. _V_p_r_i_n_t
141: should use one of the constant width fonts to produce pret-
142: tier listings.
