NAME

capcomm---TRANSCRIPT Appletalk communication filter for POSTSCRIPT printers  

SYNOPSIS

XPSLIBDIRX/pscomm  

DESCRIPTION

This is the low-level TRANSCRIPT Appletalk communication filter for use by the 4.2BSD line printer spooling system through the printer description file /etc/printcap. It uses the CAP libraries to communicate with printers connected to Appletalk networks. It is called from the psint.sh shell script. This script uses argv[0] (the name it was invoked under) to determine which action to take, which may involve invoking a translation filter or management filter before invoking the communications filter. The options are as specified in the 4.2BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual. The program pscomm is the lowest level filter. It manages communication with the printer, error handling, status reporting, etc.
