+LP(1)                     Minix Programmer's Manual                      LP(1)
+
+
+NAME
+     lp, lpd - copy a file to the line printer
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     lp [file ...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     Each file argument to lp is send to  the  line  printer  to  be  printed.
+     Standard  input  is  read  and  printed  if  there  are no arguments.  Lp
+     executes /usr/lib/lpd with each file as input.   Lpd  puts  the  file  in
+     /usr/spool/lpd and starts printing the jobs on /dev/lp unless another lpd
+     is already running.  If lpd finds any character  in  the  input  that  it
+     doesn't  know  how  to  handle  then  it  will print the rest of the file
+     without any special treatment.  This also means that no formfeed is  sent
+     after  the  file  has  been  printed  to  force out the page.  Lpd simply
+     assumes that you know what you are doing.  (dumb, eh?)
+
+     Note: Don't do anything with a file until it is printed, lpd only makes a
+     copy  of a file in the spool directory when it is not world readable.  If
+     it can be read then it is printed directly.
+
+FILES
+
+     /usr/spool/lpd/jobXXXXX
+                         Information about a job.
+
+     /usr/spool/lpd/tmpXXXXX
+                         Associated file to be printed.
+
+     /etc/termcap        The 'lp' entry describes the printer by the "li#" and
+                         "co#"  fields.   By  default 66 lines (li#66), and 80
+                         columns (co#80).
+
+SEE ALSO
+     lp(4), termcap(5), termcap(7).
+
+BUGS
+     Not spooling a world readable file may not be such a smart idea.
+
+     A formfeed should be printed and the printer reset after a  job  full  of
+     escape codes, but this may cost paper.
