7.SH NAME
8capcomm\(em\*(TS Appletalk communication filter for \*(PS printers
9.SH "SYNOPSIS"
10.B XPSLIBDIRX/pscomm
11.SH "DESCRIPTION"
12This is the low-level \*(TS Appletalk communication filter for use by the
134.2BSD line printer spooling system through the printer description file
14/etc/printcap.  It uses the CAP libraries to communicate with printers
15connected to Appletalk networks.
16It is called from the
17.I psint.sh
18shell script.  This script uses argv[0] (the name it was invoked under)
19to determine which action to take, which may involve invoking a translation
20filter or management filter before invoking the communications filter.
21The options are as specified in the
22.I 4.2BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual. 
23The program
24.I pscomm
25is the lowest level filter.  It manages communication with the printer,
26error handling, status reporting, etc.
