Installation and usage
----------------------
You need gcc installed. libieee1284 and libinklevel >= 0.7.0 are required. 
You may have to edit the Makefile to suit your needs (e.g. installation 
directory).

tar xzf ink-0.4.1.tar.gz
cd ink-0.4.1
make
make install

Run the program as follows:

ink -p <port> [-n <portnumber>]

where port is either "parport" or "usb" and portnumber is the number of the 
port to which your printer is connected. The portnumber is optional and 
defaults to 0. You need read/write permission on the device the printer is 
connected to. If you have an usb printer you can also specify the device 
the printer is connected to directly by invoking ink like this:

ink -d /dev/usblp0

For getting version information about ink and libinklevel run it like this:

ink -v
