>Description:
lprps is a collection of programs for using lpr with a PostScript
printer connected by a bidirectional serial channel.
Some features are:
* Deals intelligently with output generated by the printer: printer
errors (such as ``out of paper'') are logged using syslog.
* Updates status file (displayed by lpq) with printer's current status.
* Performs printer accounting.
* Ensures that the printer is ready to receive the job.
* Determines whether file is PostScript or text and prints it
appropriately
* Can automatically perform page reversal for the benefit of printers
that stack face-up.
