Syntax
lprint [ - ] file
Description
lprint(C) accepts a filename to print or - to read from the
keyboard. If the terminal has local printing abilities, it
will then print the file to a printer attached to the
printer port of the terminal.
This command uses the file /etc/termcap.

printing.
Files
/etc/termcap
Notes
The only terminals currently supported with entries in
/etc/termcap are Tandy's DT-100 and DT-1, and Hewlett-
Packard's HP-92.
To add attached printer capability to the termcap file for a
different terminal, add entries for PN (start printing) and
PS (end printing) with the appropriate control or escape
characters for your terminal.
Terminal communications parameters (such as baud rate and
parity) must be set up on the terminal by the user.
