NAME
       lp.termprinter - start printer session with 40014A Terminal Server

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/lp/bin/lp.termprinter [ -h hostname ] [ -f ] [ -p port ] [
       -n ] [ -l secs ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
       The lp.termprinter program establishes a telnet connection to the
       specified TermServer host and sends the contents of the ´file' to the
       port.  If no file is given, lp.termprinter reads from stdin.

       The command line options supported by lp.termprinter are the
       following:


       -h hostname
                 Host name of a printer connected to a DG model 40014A
                 Terminal Server.

       -f        Translate 0xff bytes to 0xff0xff.  This option is needed to
                 correct a problem with printing graphics to a TermServer
                 printer.

       -p port   Use the port number or alias name when connecting to the
                 TermServer with the telnet protocol.  If no port option is
                 given, then the default port number is the telnet port 23.

       -n        Some TermServer models require you to send null characters
                 at the end of the transmission.  This is the default
                 behavior of the lp.termprinter filter.  Use the -n option
                 to suppress the sending of nulls.

       -l        Uses the SO_LINGER socket option when the session is
                 established.  The -l option takes an argument indicating in
                 seconds the maximum amount of time to wait for the close.
                 See socket(2) and /usr/include/sys/socket.h for additional
                 information. By default, the termprinter interface script
                 invokes lp.termprinter with -l 32000.

       Refer to the "40014A Terminal Server AViiON Release Notice" or
       "TermServer Software TCP/IP w/ SNMP Release Notice" for further
       information.
