OPTIONSNote that there can be whitespace between a one-letter option and its argument; on the other hand, there must be whitespace and/or an equal sign (`=') between a long-name option and its argument.
TYPEFACESThe driver supports the Dutch, Swiss and Swiss-Narrow scalable typefaces, each one in the Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic styles. Additionally, the Courier and Elite monospaced typefaces at the sizes 8 and 12 points (for Courier) resp. 8 and 10 points (for Elite) are supported, each one in the Regular, Bold and Italic styles.The following chart summarizes the font names you can use to access these fonts:
PAPER SIZESThe paper size can be set in the DESC file or with command line options to grolbp. If the paper size is specified both ways, the command line options take precedence over the contents of the DESC file (this applies to the page orientation too).To set the paper size in the DESC file, insert in that file a line containing papersize desired_papersize, where desired_papersize is:
If there are various papersize lines in the DESC file, only the first valid one is used. To set the paper size in the command line, add -p desired_papersize or --papersize=desired_papersize to the other grolbp options, where desired_papersize is in the same format as in the DESC file. Paper sizes are case insensitive (i.e., `A4' is the same as `a4'). If no paper size is specified in the DESC file or the command line, a default size of A4 is used. CUSTOM PAPER SIZESpapersize cust600x1200 at the beginning of the DESC file. PAGE ORIENTATIONAs with the page size, the orientation of the printed page (portrait or landscape) can be set in the DESC file or with command line options. It is also case insensitive.To set the orientation in the DESC file, insert a line with the following content: orientation [portrait|landscape] As with paper sizes, only the first valid orientation command in the DESC file is used. To set the page orientation with command line options you can use the -o or --orientation option with the same parameters (portrait or landscape) as in the DESC file. Or you can use the -l option to force the pages to be printed in landscape. FONT FILE FORMATIn addition to the usual commands described in groff_font(5), grolbp provides the command lbpname which sets the font name sent to the printer when requesting this font. The syntax of this command is:lbpname printer_font_name
The argument of lbpname is case sensitive. FILES
