lppick -v

lppick -V

-d

Debugs—Information displays while data is processed. This option should be used only to diagnose problems. The v option of the startshp command sets this flag.

-s string

Specifies the end-of-job sequence. The default is a one character string x'04'. It is strongly advised to specify an alternate end-of-job sequence. Characters that cannot be printed are specified in octal, prefixed by a backslash.

-c command

Specifies the UNIX command to use to spool data. This command must be able to accept data on its standard input. The default is lp.

-l file.name

Creates a UNIX file name when the filter is activated. The file contains the PID of the filter, the strings "command" and "string", separated by an attribute mark. The startshp command uses this option so that the TCL command shp-status can keep track of the shared printers.

-h string|file.name

Specifies the text to print at the top of a print job. The specified text can be explicitly typed (string) or can be the text in a UNIX file (referenced by the file.name). File names must be preceded by a period (.) for relative paths or by a forward slash (/) for absolute paths.

-t level

Activates tracing on the printer activity. The level is an integer from 1 to 3 specifying the level of tracing.

NOTE—The -t option requires the -l option.

-v

Displays the version of the lppick command as:

-V

Displays the version of the lppick command in short form, for example X.Y, for use in shells or FlashBASIC utilities.
