     LPRINT(C)                XENIX System V                 LPRINT(C)



     Name
          lprint - print to a printer attached to the user's terminal

     Syntax
          lprint [ - ] file

     Description
          lprint(C) accepts a filename to print or - to read from the
          keyboard.  If the terminal has local printing abilities, it
          will then print the file to a printer attached to the
          printer port of the terminal.

          This command uses the file /etc/termcap.

     Options
          -        Tells lprint to use the standard input for
                   printing.

     Files
          /etc/termcap

     Notes
          The only terminals currently supported with entries in
          /etc/termcap are Tandy's DT-100 and DT-1, and Hewlett-
          Packard's HP-92.

          To add attached printer capability to the termcap file for a
          different terminal, add entries for PN (start printing) and
          PS (end printing) with the appropriate control or escape
          characters for your terminal.

          Terminal communications parameters (such as baud rate and
          parity) must be set up on the terminal by the user.
