pdq1

Usage

Overview

pdq prints the listed files, or STDIN if none is listed. The printer is selected with the -d or -P flag. If none is given, the job is sent to the default printer. Driver options and arguments are specified with the -o and -a flags respectively. Interface options and arguments are specified with the -O and -A flags respectively. To show printer-specific options and arguments, pass the -h or --help flag, and at the same time select a particular printer with the -d or -P flag.

Options

-a VAR=value

Set driver argument VAR to value.

-A VAR=value

Set interface argument VAR to value.

-d printer

Send job to printer. The -P option may also be used to select printer.

-h, --help

Show summary usage. If no printer is selected, a list of available printers will be displayed. If a printer is selected, available options and arguments will be displayed.

--debug-rc

Be verbose as resources are defined, redefined, and deleted, and as options and parameters are set, then exit. Hacking a driver and nothing happens? Are you hacking the wrong file? Use this option to see where that pesky driver is hiding.

-o option

Select driver option option.

-O option

Select interface option option.

-P printer

Send job to printer. The -d option may also be used to select printer.
