LP(HW)                                     UNIX System V



     Name
          lp, lp0, lp1, lp2 - line printer device interfaces


     Description
          The  lp0 , lp1, and lp2 files provide access to the optional
          parallel  ports  of  the  computer.   The  lp0 and lp2 files
          provide access to parallel ports 1 and 2, respectively.  The
          lp1  file  provides  access  to  the  parallel  port  on the
          monochrome adaptor.

          Only one of lp0 and lp1 may be used on a  given  system.  To
          access  two parallel printers on a system, use either lp0 or
          lp1, and lp2.


     Files
          /dev/lp0
          /dev/lp1
          /dev/lp2


     See Also
          lp(C), lpadmin(ADM), lpsched(ADM)


     Notes
          The standard lp ports, lp0, lp1,  and  lp2  send  a  printer
          initialization  string  the  first  time  the file is opened
          after the system is booted.

          Not all computers have an alternate parallel port slot.
