[-L locale] [-n login] [-w width] [accounting_file]

Specifies the file to record accounting information. This

The cp382dof filter is used to filter text data destined
for the CP382 printer controller. The filter handles the
device dependencies of the printers and performs accounting
functions. At the time of completion for each print
job, accounting records are written to the file specified
by the af field of the printer's entry in /etc/printcap.
The filter can handle plain ASCII and Chinese text files
and files that have been preprocessed by nroff. The
cp382dof filter translates nroff control sequences for
underlining, superscripting, and subscripting into the
proper CP382 control sequences.
The cp382dof filter can be the specified filter in both
the of and the if fields in the /etc/printcap file. For
further information, see printcap(4).
The CP382-D printer can be configured to use the software
on-demand loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print userdefined
characters (UDCs). Refer to i18n_printing(5) for
more details on SoftODL.
To enable SoftODL printing, you should set the ys value in
/etc/printcap to 800. You can also set the default SoftODL
database, style, and size by using the odldb and odlstyle
options in the ya value. The yt value, if set,
should be fifo. Refer to printcap(4) for information on
setting these values.
The lpr command supports a number of options and associated
options to specify localization features supported by
various printers. The lpr(1) reference page provides a
complete list of these options and options. The following
ones can be specified for the CP382 printer controller: To
specify the SoftODL database path To specify SoftODL font
style and size
The cp382dof filter always assumes that 4-byte characters
are printed without leading code. The printer hardware
should be set as such to avoid any formatting problems.
The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the
/etc/printcap file specifies the name of the error logging
file.
