💖 ippevepcl/ps — the manual, but make it bestie 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ippevepcl/ps — the pcl and postscript print commands for ippeveprinter

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ippevepcl [ filename ]
ippeveps [ filename ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okok so. ippevepcl and ippeveps are print commands for ippeveprinter(1). and like all print commands ever, they read from either the filename you hand them on the command-line or from the standard input. output goes to the standard output, and the status + progress messages go to the standard error. no notes, that's just the setup. 💅

• ippevepcl prints to B&W HP PCL laser printers, and it supports printing of HP PCL (application/vnd.hp-pcl), PWG Raster (image/pwg-raster), and Apple Raster (image/urf) print files. slay.
• ippeveps prints to Adobe PostScript printers, and it supports printing of PDF (application/pdf), PostScript (application/postscript), JPEG (image/jpeg), PWG Raster (image/pwg-raster), and Apple Raster (image/urf) print files.

so here's the tea on ippeveps: printer-specific commands are read from a supplied PPD file. but if no PPD file is specified? then generic commands suitable for any Level 2 or Level 3 PostScript printer are used instead, to specify duplex printing and media size. iconic fallback behaviour, fr fr. 🫶

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

these programs return 1 on error and 0 on success. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. ✨

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

these programs inherit the environment provided by the ippeveprinter program. so like, whatever ippeveprinter is wearing, they're wearing. matching outfits, no cap. 💜
