plotdvr
HP-GL plotter filter. This filter scans the data for "PG" commands (paper feed). When this data is encoun-
tered, the filter strips it from the data stream and informs the requesting user of the need to change paper
in the plotter.
Options:
-l request_id Specifies the printer request ID and is used in various messages regarding the plot
request.
-u username The requesting user’s login name, used to communicate with the user regarding the
request.
-e Specifies the use of escape sequences, rather than HP-GL commands, to determine
plotter status.
-f Plot without stopping for paper changes. The "PG" commands are not stripped from
the data stream and the user is not notified of them. This option is used on plotters
capable of automatic page feed.
-i Prevents initialization of the plotter.
