.SH DESCRIPTION
plpprintd provides a print server for a Psion, connected to the PC.
Using plpprintd, you can use the Psion's "Print via PC" feature to
access any printer, available on your PC. When receiving a print job,
the data is converted to Postscript and then send to a printer.

Enable additional debug messages and stay in foreground (do not fork).

.B \-h, --help
Display a short help text and exit.
.TP
.B \-v, --verbose
Increase verbosity
.TP
.B \-V, --version
Display the version and exit
.TP
.BI "\-s, --spooldir=" dir
Specify a directory to use for temporary spool files. If this option is
missing, a builtin default
.I /var/spool/plpprint
is used.
.TP
.BI "\-c, --printcmd=" cmd
Specify a command for actually sending a print job to the printer. The
specified command must receive the data from its standard input. If this
option is missing, a builtin default
.I lpr \-Ppsion
is used.
.TP
.BI "\-p, --port=[" host :] port
Specify the host and port to connect to (e.g. The port where ncpd is
listening on) - by default the host is 127.0.0.1 and the port is looked up
in /etc/services. If it is not found there, a builtin value of @DPORT@ is used.
.TP
.SH FILES
.TP
@pkgdatadir@/prolog.ps
contains the Postscript(\*R) dictionary, needed for printing the jobs.
.TP
@pkgdatadir@/fontmap
specifies the font mapping to be used. This file is used to convert the
Psion's font names into valid Postscript(\*R) font names. Its format is
described at the beginning of it. If a Psion font name is received which
can not be found in this file, a builtin default Courier is used.
.SH BUGS
Using patterns in diagrams gives ugly results.
