NAME

vpr − Versatec printer spooler

SYNOPSIS

vpr [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

Vpr causes the named files to be queued for printing on a Versatec printer.  If no names appear, the standard input is assumed; thus vpr may be used as a filter. 

The following options may be given (each as a separate argument and in any order) before any file name arguments:

−c Makes a copy of the file to be sent before returning to the user. 

−r Removes the file after sending it. 

−m When printing is complete, reports that fact by mail(1).

−n Does not report the completion of printing by mail(1). This is the default option.

−f Uses the next argument as a dummy file name when reporting completion by mail(1), thus forcing the −m option.  (This is useful for distinguishing multiple runs, especially when vpr is being used as a filter). 

−p [ −e raster ]
Uses the plot filter vplot to output files produced by graph(1G). The −e option will cause a previously scan converted file raster to be sent to the Versatec. 

−t Uses the troff filter vcat to output files produced by troff(1). Troff must be invoked with the −t option. 

−nF For n between 1 and 4, assumes font F is mounted in font position n, where F is R, I, B, or S. 

EXAMPLES

Two common uses are:

troff −t [ options ] file │ vpr −t

and

graph [ options ] file │ vpr −p
