DESCRIPTION
     deskjetII is a System V printer driver for HP DeskJet color inkjet
     printers.  deskjetII reads STIFF format image files, writes PCL commands
     to standard output, and uses libpod(3) functions to keep the printer
     object database (POD) current.  The PCL commands generated vary based on
     the command line options passed to the driver.  PJL commands are also
     used for those printers that support PJL (1200C and 1600C).

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

     The deskjetII 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        Specifies that the driver should exit after ascertaining
               printer status and updating the POD status file.


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


     -Y Y resolution
               Specify the Y resolution.  Valid values are "300" or "600".
               Default is 300.
     -S papersize
               Specify the paper size. The default page size is A. The paper
               sizes supported vary by printer model.


     -o mediatype
               Specifies the media type loaded in the printer paper tray.
               Valid media type names are: "plain", "special", "glossy, or
               "transparency".


     -j printquality
               Specifies the print quality.  Valid values are: "economode",
               "normal" and "presentation".


     -m        Manual feed.  If the printer supports manual feed this option
               will cause it to pause and wait for the paper to be manually
               loaded.



     -B buffersize
               Size of buffer to use to read and write data.  Specified in
               bytes.


     -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.


     -h        Prints a usage message.


     -F FileFormat
               Format of file to print. Currently, FileFormat can only be set
               to "pcl" (other names are ignored).  If "pcl" is specified the
               input stream is assumed to already be formatted for the printer
               and is sent to the printer unaltered.

     [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.
