lprps is a collection of programs for using lpr with a PostScript
printer connected by a bidirectional serial channel.
It contains the following programs:
lprps handles communication with the printer
psif allows separate filters to be used for text and PostScript
textps simple text to PostScript filter
psrev PostScript page reversal filter

Some features are:
* Deals intelligently with output generated by the printer: printer
errors (such as ``out of paper'') are logged using syslog.
* Updates status file (displayed by lpq) with printer's current status.
* Performs printer accounting.
* Ensures that the printer is ready to receive the job.
* Determines whether file is PostScript or text and prints it appropriately
* Can automatically perform page reversal for the benefit of printers
that stack face-up.
