directomatic − Print without spooler
directomatic −P <printdef> [-o option=value [...]] [file]
Directomatic is a filter script to print with free software printer drivers without the need of a print spooler. It is designed to be used together with a Foomatic printer definition file.
Options
−P <printdef>
where printdef is the printer definition file to use.
−o option=value
Set an arbitrary option.
file |
The file to print. |
Commands
Directomatic will print from standard input unless a
file to print is specified on the command line. If your
printer definition file is in /etc/foomatic/direct or
~/.foomatic/direct you do not need to specify its
path. Put a (instructions in the file) to redirect the
output of directomatic to your printer instead of standard
output. To make normal users able to print this way add them
to group lp and make sure the appropriate printer
device file /dev/lpX is group-writable.
