18 Apr 2000 (For ifhp-3.3.11beta.7)


The ifhp program is an enhanced, extended, highly configurable, and portable implementation of a print filter for use with the LPRng Print spooler package. Ifhp supports network, serial, and parallel printers, does page accounting and job recovery, and allows an extremely high level of configuration and tuning. Ifhp gets its flexibility by using a configuration file to set its operational characteristics. The configuration file can contain multiple separate printer configurations and the configuration selection is done by a very simple command line option. The filter supports text, PostScript, PCL, and PJL printers, and can be configured to handle a wide range of printer quirks and mis-implementations.
