| 11 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
|---|
| 12 | This is the low-level \*(TS Appletalk communication filter for use by the |
|---|
| 13 | 4.2BSD line printer spooling system through the printer description file |
|---|
| 14 | /etc/printcap. It uses the CAP libraries to communicate with printers |
|---|
| 15 | connected to Appletalk networks. |
|---|
| 16 | It is called from the |
|---|
| 17 | .I psint.sh |
|---|
| 18 | shell script. This script uses argv[0] (the name it was invoked under) |
|---|
| 19 | to determine which action to take, which may involve invoking a translation |
|---|
| 20 | filter or management filter before invoking the communications filter. |
|---|
| 21 | The options are as specified in the |
|---|
| 22 | .I 4.2BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual. |
|---|
| 23 | The program |
|---|
| 24 | .I pscomm |
|---|
| 25 | is the lowest level filter. It manages communication with the printer, |
|---|
| 26 | error handling, status reporting, etc. |
