     LP(HW)                   XENIX System V                    LP(HW)



     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

     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.
