πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
ps2lexmark
that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just vibes π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea β β ps2lexmark is a script that translates a postscript file into the Lexmark 2050 Series protocol.
the way it works is so simple it's lowkey iconic: the script just reads standard input, converts it, and then sends the data straight out to standard output. no drama, no detours, no main character side quests π
and to pull this off, ps2lexmark uses gs(1) and the c2050(1) driver. so those two are literally doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes β bestie energy, collab of the century π
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
not me checking the options list and finding out it's empty π
this program has no options. none. zero. nada. it just does the one thing and does it well. periodt π

π AUTHOR π
this manual page was written by Marco Nenciarini <mnencia@prato.linux.it>. legend behavior, honestly, we love an author who documents their work π
π real talk: since ps2lexmark reads from standard input and writes to standard output, you're gonna wanna pipe it. no input means it's just sitting there waiting, and that's a whole mood but not a useful one π
okay that's the whole page!! π this was the General Commands Manual for C2050 (section 1), and the version on deck is dated March 14, 2001 β yes, a vintage icon, we stan a classic β thanks for reading bestie, go translate some postscript π
