Customizing the LP Print Service

Although the LP print service is designed to be flexible enough to handle most printers and printing needs, the LP print service does not handle every possible situation. You might have a print request that is not accommodated by the standard features of the LP print service. Or, you might have a printer that does not quite fit into the way the LP print service handles printers.

You can customize the LP print service in the following ways:

• Adjust the printer port characteristics.

• Adjust the terminfo database.

• Customize the printer interface program.

• Create a print filter.

• Define a form.

For detailed descriptions and step-by-step instructions on customizing the LP print service, see Chapter 7, Customizing Printing Services and Printers (Tasks).
