plpprintd [-d] [-h] [-v] [-V]
[-s spooldir] [-c print-cmd]
[-p [host:]port]
[long-options]
plpprintd provides a print server for a Psion, connected to the
PC. Using plpprintd, you can use the Psion's "Print via PC"
feature to access any printer, available on your PC. When receiving a print
job, the data is converted to Postscript® and then send to a
printer.
- -d, --debug
- Enable additional debug messages and stay in foreground (do not
fork).
- -h, --help
- Display a short help text and exit.

- -s,
--spooldir=dir
- Specify a directory to use for temporary spool files. If this option is
missing, a builtin default /var/spool/plpprint is used.
- -c,
--printcmd=cmd
- Specify a command for actually sending a print job to the printer. The
specified command must receive the data from its standard input. If this
option is missing, a builtin default lpr -Ppsion is used.
- -p,
--port=[host:]port
- Specify the host and port to connect to (e.g. The port where ncpd is
listening on) - by default the host is 127.0.0.1 and the port is looked up
in /etc/services. If it is not found there, a builtin value of 7501 is
used.
- /usr/share/plptools/prolog.ps
- contains the Postscript(®) dictionary, needed for printing the
jobs.
- /usr/share/plptools/fontmap
- specifies the font mapping to be used. This file is used to convert the
Psion's font names into valid Postscript(®) font names. Its format
is described at the beginning of it. If a Psion font name is received
which can not be found in this file, a builtin default Courier is used.
