lp - line printer
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>lp</STRONG> device refers to the line printer attached to the parallel port.
Any byte written to this device is printed. Only one process may have
the device open.
The <STRONG>write</STRONG> <STRONG>(2)</STRONG> call may return with a smaller count then the number of
bytes requested to write. The next write call is then likely to fail
with the error code <STRONG>EAGAIN</STRONG> if the printer is out of paper, or <STRONG>EIO</STRONG> if the
printer is turned off.
