>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.
