NAME

directomatic − Print without spooler

SYNOPSIS

directomatic −P <printdef>  [-o option=value [...]] [file]

DESCRIPTION

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.

See http://www.linuxprinting.org/direct-doc.html

FILES

The foomatic printer definition file.
