    <h1 align="center">printop - graphical interface to LPRng print system</h1>

    <p>
      printop is a <a href="http://www.tclconsortium.org/">Tcl/Tk</a> program
      that gives you a graphical interface to control the printers and queues
      for UNIX-like systems using the <a
      href="/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/man/man8/lpd.8.gz">lpd</a> daemon from the <a
      href="http://www.astart.com/lprng/lprng.html">LPRng</a> print system. It
      uses the commands <a
      href="/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/man/man1/lpq.1.gz">lpq</a>, <a
      href="/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/man/man1/lpc.1.gz">lpc</a> and <a
      href="/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/man/man1/lprm.1.gz">lprm</a> to get
      information and control the printers and you just have to click with your
      mouse.  In a large network it shows you all the printers and gives you
      the full functionality of the <a
      href="http://www.astart.com/lprng/lprng.html">LPRng</a> commands, so you
      have a good overview of what is happening.

    <h2><a name="configure">printop configuration options</a></h2>

    <p>
      printop uses two files to defines which printers are shown in printop.
      You can create printer entries with the command:
    </p>

    <p>
      <code>
        printer button {printer-name} {menu-name}
      </code>
    </p>

    <p>
      <code>printer-name</code> can be a tcl-regexp, so that
      <code>"^d.*"</code> would mean: Create a button for all the printers that
      begin with the letter d. <code>{menu-name}</code> can be empty
      <code>{}</code>, so that the buttons are created directly in the
      <code>choose-main-menu</code>, or it can be the name of a submenu (or the
      path to a subsubmenu etc).
    </p>

    <p>
      You can create new submenus in the main-menu with the command:
    </p>

    <p>
      <code>
        printer menu "Menu-Name" {widget-name}
      </code>
    </p>


    <p>
      <code>Menu-Name</code> is the name that is displayed in the menus,
      <code>widget-name</code> is the name of the created widget. If you create
      a submenu <code>{menu_a}</code>, then you can create a subsubmenu with
      the command:
    </p>

    <p>
      <code>
        printer menu "MySubSubMenu" {submen} {men_a}
      </code>
    </p>

    <p>
      and adding the menu-names to a path you can have subsubsubmenus:
    </p>

    <p>
      <code>
        printer menu "SubSubSubmenu" {subsubmen} {men_a.submen}
      </code>
    </p>

    <p>
      With the button command you can then insert buttons to your menu.
    </p>
