NAME
       foomatic-getpjloptions - <put a short description here>

SYNOPSIS
       foomatic-getpjloptions device

       foomatic-getpjloptions hostname port


DESCRIPTION
       foomatic-getpjloptions  Sends  a set of PJL commands and reads back the PJL options
       and status from a printer over a network connection or device bidirectional  inter-
       face such as parallel, USB, serial.  printers to standard output. The output can be
       piped into foomatic-addpjloptions to add options to the database.



   Options
       device    The interface to which a  local  printer  is  connected,  e.g.  /dev/lp0,
                 /dev/usb/lp0,  /dev/tty00, etc.  For a parallel port, you must have bidi-
                 rectional support enabled at the BIOS level and the parallel port  driver
                 must  support the bidirectional mode.  Check your parallel port BIOS set-
                 tings for  EPP/bi-directional mode.


       hostname  Host name or IP address of a network printer (HP JetDirect, DLINK, etc.).


       port      Port on which your network printer listens for socket (Appsocket) connec-
                 tions.  Most common ports are 9100 (JetDirect), 10000  (DLINK).   Usually
                 you can configure the port via a configuration interface.


EXIT STATUS
       foomatic-getpjloptions returns ???

       Manfred Wassmann <manolo AT NCC-1701.de> for the foomatic project using out-
       put from the associated binary.  Modified by Patrick Powell <papowell at lprng.com>
       to  provide betters support for network printers, error messages, and remove CR and
       FF from output.


WARNINGS
       Uni-directional protocols as remote LPD are not supported as no status is returned.
       Some  network  print servers which attach to a printer parallel port do not support
       birectional mode.
