PSOF(8)

NAME
psof - PostScript output/banner filter for lpr

SYNOPSIS
psof [ args... ]

DESCRIPTION
psof is a PostScript output/banner filter for thr lpr spooling system. To enable banner printing psof is specified as the of filter in the printcap entry; there must also be an if filter, usually psif(8); psof requires that the printcap entry includes the sb capability but does not include the sh capability. To disable banner printing, remove the of capability and include a sh capability. Include an hl capability to print the banner page at the end of a job rather than at the beginning. The lpr system supplies various command line arguments to of filters; these are ignored by psof.

psof will send the file /usr/local/share/misc/banner.ps to the printer using lprps preceded by definitions of strings Job, Class, User and Date; /usr/local/share/misc/banner.ps should contain PostScript code that uses the definitions to print a suitable banner page.

No accounting information is generated for banner pages.

FILES
