Update of /cvsroot/mingw/mingw-dist/msys In directory sfp-cvsdas-4.v30.ch3.sourceforge.com:/tmp/cvs-serv8994 Added Files: msys-lpr-enhanced.xml Log Message: Added msys-lpr-enhanced.xml --- NEW FILE: msys-lpr-enhanced.xml --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <software-distribution project="MinGW" home="http://mingw.org" issue="@YYYYMMDDNN@"> <package-collection subsystem="msys"> <download-host uri="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/%F?download" /> <package name="msys-lpr-enhanced"> <description lang="en" title="lpr-enhanced: A full-featured implementation of unix lpr for MSYS" > <paragraph>lpr-enhanced is an implementation of the unix lpr system for MSYS, and unlike lpr-basic (msys-cygutils) supports many of the advanced capabilities of a true Unix implementation. These features include format-dependent filters to pre-process data before spooling to the printer. The filters may includes nroff, ditroff, or TeX pre-processors, among others. It supports /etc/printcap-style configuration, and honors both BSD options (when invoked as 'lpr') and SysV options (when invoked as 'lp'). A sample /etc/printcap file is in /var/spool/lp/config/example, but it MUST be copied to /var/spool/lp/config/.active or to /etc/printcap and customized for your environment -- just like on unix. </paragraph> <paragraph>The lpr-basic executable from the msys-cygutils package (see below) is installed, by default, as both /bin/lpr.exe and /bin/lpr-basic.exe. To use lpr-enhanced, you should manually remove /bin/lpr.exe, and manually copy /bin/lpr-enhanced to /bin/lpr (and/or /bin/lp). You may need to repeat this step each time msys-cygutils is (re)installed or updated. </paragraph> <paragraph>A note about lpr-basic: lpr-basic spools a file to the specified printer device. MSYS provides two separate implementations: lpr-basic.exe and lpr-enhanced. lpr-basic.exe is suitable for most simple printing needs; it can send "raw" data to any installed Windows printer. This is most useful for raw text, for sending plain PostScript files to PostScript-compatible printers, and for re-sending .prn files generated using Windows' own print-to-file capabilities to the specific printer for which the .prn file was generated. lpr-enhanced is more capable, more unix-like, and more difficult to configure. Use lpr-enhanced if you need the additional flexibility it provides, or are more comfortable with traditional unix lpr and/or lp semantics. </paragraph> </description> <component class="bin"> <release tarname="lpr-enhanced-1.0.2-1-msys-1.0.11-bin.tar.lzma" /> <requires eq="msys-core-*-msys-*-bin.tar" /> <requires eq="msys-bash-*-msys-*-bin.tar" /> <requires eq="msys-coreutils-*-msys-*-bin.tar" /> <requires eq="msys-grep-*-msys-*-bin.tar" /> <requires eq="msys-sed-*-msys-*-bin.tar" /> <!-- needed for /bin/pr, used by lpr-enhanced and example printcap --> <requires eq="msys-coreutils-*-msys-*-ext.tar" /> <!-- needed by the example printcap --> <requires eq="msys-cygutils-dos2unix-*-msys-*-bin.tar" /> </component> <component class="doc"> <release tarname="lpr-enhanced-1.0.2-1-msys-1.0.11-doc.tar.lzma" /> </component> <component class="lic"> <release tarname="lpr-enhanced-1.0.2-1-msys-1.0.11-lic.tar.lzma" /> </component> <licence tarname="lpr-enhanced-%-msys-%-lic.tar" /> <source tarname="lpr-enhanced-%-msys-%-src.tar" /> </package> </package-collection> </software-distribution> |
