In the following example, the command requests information for the postdaisy print filter, and the information that is displayed in response.
# lpfilter -f postdaisy -l Input types: daisy Output types: postscript Printer types: any Printers: any Filter type: slow Command: /usr/lib/lp/postscript/postdaisy Options: PAGES * = -o* Options: COPIES * = -c* Options: MODES group = -n2 Options: MODES group\=\([2-9]\) = -n\1 Options: MODES portrait = -pp Options: MODES landscape = -pl Options: MODES x\=\(\-*[\.0-9]*\) = -x\1 Options: MODES y\=\(\-*[\.0-9]*\) = -y\1 Options: MODES magnify\=\([\.0-9]*\) = -m\1 |
In the following example, the command redirects information about the daisytroff filter to a file (creates the filter definition for that filter). This is useful if a filter definition is removed unintentionally.
# lpfilter -f daisytroff -l > daisytroff.fd |
In the following example, the command displays all the print filters that have been added to the system, and the information that is displayed in response.
# lpfilter -f all -l | grep Filter (Filter "download") Filter type: fast (Filter "postio") Filter type: fast (Filter "postior") Filter type: fast (Filter "postreverse") Filter type: slow |
