DESCRIPTION
     lexmarkoptra is a System V printer driver for the Lexmark Optra line of
     printers. The Lexmark 4039 Plus can also be driven with the lexmarkoptra
     driver.

     Lexmark Optra printers are OEM'ed to Genicom as the Genicom 7910, 7912
     and 7916 and are supported by this driver.  (The Optra is OEM'ed to other
     vendors and they should also work.)

     The Lexmark Optra C Color Laser Printer is not supported (use the generic
     color PostScript driver for the Optra C).

     The lexmarkoptra driver reads a PostScript file from standard in.  A
     filename can also be used for input.  The driver pre-pends Printer Job
     Language (PJL) commands to the input stream and writes it to standard
     out.  The PJL commands generated vary based on the command line options
     passed to the driver.

     The output from the lexmarkoptra  driver is typically piped to the
     phandler(1) driver or the nethandler(1) driver for delivery to the
     printer.  This is done in the lexmarkoptra_model file found in
     /var/spool/lp/model.

     The lexmarkoptra driver opens and updates the POD files for the specified
     printer.  The file <printername>.config contains the detailed information
     on the printer's capabilities, <printername>.status contains the
     information on operational status of the printer, and <printername>.log
     contains the information on print job history.  For more information on
     printer database files refer to the libpod(3) man page.

USAGE
     -P printername
               Required: Specifies the printer name, as installed under the
               SGI spooler, and as visible in the printer manager.


     -S papersize
               Specify the paper size. The default page size is A. The legal
               values are "A", "Legal", "A4", "B5" and "EXEC". The driver
               defaults to A size paper if the papersize value is invalid.
     -d duplexoption
               Controls the duplex option.  Valid values are "off",
               "bindShortSide" and "bindLongSide".  Default is off.


     -o mediatype
               Specify the media type.  Valid values are "0" for plain paper.
               "1" for card stock.  "2" for transparencies.  Default is "0"
               (plain paper).


     -J printdarkness
               Specify the print darkness used by the printer.  Valid values
               are "Normal", "Light", "Dark", "Toner", and "Draft".  Toner
               sets toner saver mode.  Default is Normal.


     -T mediatray
               Specify the media tray for media source.  Valid values are
               "upper","lower","manual","feeder".  Default is upper.


     -X X resolution
               Specify the X resolution.  Valid values are "300", "600", or
               "1200".  Default is 600.


     -Y Y resolution
               Specify the Y resolution.  Valid values are "300", "600", or
               "1200".  Default is 600.

     -L logfilename
               Specify the name of the file for writing the print spool log
               information. If logfilename is not specified, then the driver
               writes the information to standard error. The logfilename is
               not the same as the printer database log file in
               /var/spool/lp/pod. This option is provided only for
               compatibility with the System V spooler architecture.


     -D        Turns on debugging information.  Four levels of debugging
               information are supported: none, coarse detail, medium detail,
               and fine detail.  These correspond to 0, 1, 2, and 3 or more -D
               switches given on the command line.  That is, multiple -D
               options given on the command line result in progressively more
               detailed debugging information.


     -s        Specifies that the driver should exit after ascertaining
               printer status and updating the POD status file.

     -w        Specify this flag to suppress warning messages in the printer
               status file. By default the warning messages are written to the
               printer status file.


     -t        Print a test page. When this option is specified the input file
               and standard error are ignored and a test page is printed.


     -h        Prints a usage message.


     [inputfile]
               Specify the name of the file to be printed. If inputfile is not
               specified, then the driver reads the input from its standard
               input.
