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.
