LPRDVI(1)

📦 version 5.1j, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 LPRDVI(1) — the glow-up edition 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to lprdvi, a little legend from the General Commands Manual (section 1, iykyk) 👑

✨ NAME ✨

lprdvi — send output of dvi2ps to a printer. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 🖨️💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lprdvi

no args, no drama. she just is. periodt ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents the lprdvi command, briefly — like a quick lil vibe check, not a whole saga 📖

and ngl, the reason this page even exists? it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original command hadn't a manual page at all 😭 like, iconic behaviour from a tool that just... didn't document itself. so Debian said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and here we are 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

these are the flags, bestie. learn them, love them, put them in the right order (more on that in a sec 👀):

  • -Pprinter — use printer for printing. pick your printer, be specific, she'll respect it 🖨️
  • -out — output to standard output. no printer, just vibes onto stdout ✨
  • -x n — add left margin of n units. scoot it over a lil to the right ➡️
  • -y n — add top margin of n units. give it some headroom, she deserves it ⬆️
  • -bikanji — use printer resident fonts for Japanese. the printer's own built-in fonts, no extra luggage 🎀
  • -bitmap — use bitmap fonts for Japanese. the other flavour, bitmap style 🖼️
  • -Draft — not generate non-existent fonts. draft mode energy: if it ain't there, don't make it 💀
  • -fp — read only printer entry from fontdesc. just the printer line, nothing else, we're being minimal 🤏
  • -fd F — use F as fontdesc. swap in your own font description file, main character choice 🌈
  • -Nowarn — not send to a printer if there is a warning. if something's sus, she simply will not print it, no cap 🚫
  • -manual — set manual feed mode. you feed the paper yourself, hands-on queen ✋📄
⚠️ bestie listen — these options should be put before options for dvi2ps. order matters fr fr, don't come crying to me when it's in the wrong spot 🙈

🌟 AUTHOR 🌟

this manual page was written by Atsuhito Kohda <kohda@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). absolute icon behaviour, writing docs for a command that had none 🫡💖

and that's the whole page, babe 💫 this was LPRDVI(1) straight out of the General Commands Manual — go forth and print responsibly, mwah 😘🦋
