NAME

qms − process and send files to a QMS LaserGrafix printer

SYNOPSIS

qms [-num] [-nonum] [-b <linenum>] [-e <linenum>] [-asis] [-f <file>] [-d] [-P <printer>] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

Format and print files on a QMS LaserGrafix printer.  If a list of file names is specified, each file is sent to the QMS for printing.  If the file name is ‘-’, the program’s standard input is inserted at that point in the listing.  If no file list is specified, the program’s standard input is used. 

By default, the program makes listings with line numbers. 

If any of the files end with the suffix .qms, they are assumed to contain printer commands and are passed through without modification. 

OPTIONS

All options may be specified using an unambiguous substring. 

-num The file is printed in a small font, with line numbers and a header that has page, time, and file information in it. 

-nonum
The file is printed in a small font, with no line numbers, and a header that has page, time, and file information in it.

-b linenum
The file is printed starting with line beginline. 

-e linenum
Only the lines through endline are printed. 

-asis The file to be printed is assumed to contain QUIC commands and is passed through unmodified. 

-f file qms output is routed to the specified file rather than the print spooler. 

-d qms output is routed to standard output rather than the print spooler. 

-P printer
lpr printer name to use.  Default is “qms”.

The default is to print the file in listing format, with line numbers.
