DESCRIPTION
  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 user-defined 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.

NOTES
  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:

  -A

      odldb
	  To specify the SoftODL database path

      odlstyle option
	  To specify SoftODL font style and size

RESTRICTIONS
  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.

ERRORS
  The lf field (default value is /dev/null) in the /etc/printcap file
  specifies the name of the error logging file.
