For example, ys sets the cache size that the SoftODL service uses. By

default, this value is the appropriate cache size for the printer and is

stored as the value of the ys symbol in the /etc/printcap file.

Quits the lprsetup dialogue. The utility displays the values assigned

and prompts for verification. Once verified, you are prompted to add

comments to the /etc/printcap file.

7 Quits the program to indicate no more changes are needed to the

/etc/printcap file.

1.7.5 Print Commands and the Printer Daemon

The lp, lpc, lpd, lpq, lpr, lprm, and lpstat commands handle the

features added to the print subsystem for Asian and other languages not in

the Latin-1 group. For example, the lpr command includes the -A option

and additional values for the -O option to give you access to such features.

See lpr

(1) for details about local language options and values.

1.7.6 Choosing PostScript Fonts for Different Locales

The fonts for the Chinese and Korean languages do not fit in the memory of

most PostScript printers. Fonts for the Thai language and some European

languages do fit in memory, but are large enough that they do not fit in

printer memory along with fonts for other languages.

For PostScript printers in which language-specific fonts are not printer

resident, the wwpsof print filter (see Section 1.7.1.2) provides a solution. In

this case, you specify in a printer’s configuration file the names of the fonts

you want to use for different languages. The wwpsof print filter can also

create PostScript output from bitmap fonts when PostScript fonts are not

available for a particular codeset. See wwpsof

(8) for more information about

using this print filter.

The following list associates languages and codesets with the appropriate

set of PostScript fonts:

• Western European, Latin-1 (*.ISO8859-1)

PostScript fonts for Latin-1 languages are printer resident; they are not

installed from software subsets.

• Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Slovene (*.ISO8859-2)
