DESCRIPTION
       The  la88cof filter is used to filter text data for the LA88-C printer.
       The filter handles the device dependencies of the printer and  performs
       accounting functions. At print job completion times, accounting records
       are written to the file specified by the af field in the	 /etc/printcap
       file.

       The la88cof filter can handle plain text files and files that have been
       preprocessed by nroff.  Either kind of file can contain non-ASCII char‐
       acters.	The filter translates nroff control sequences for underlining,
       superscripting, and subscripting into the proper control sequences  for
       the LA88-C printer.

       The  la88cof  filter can be the specified filter in both the of and the
       if fields in the /etc/printcap file.  For  more	information  on	 these
       fields, see printcap(4).

       The  LA88-C  printer  can  be  configured to use the software on-demand
       loading (SoftODL) mechanism to print  user-defined  characters  (UDCs).
       See i18n_printing(5) for a more detailed description of SoftODL.

       To  enable  SoftODL printing, set the ys field in /etc/printcap to 256.
       You can also set the default  SoftODL  database,	 style,	 and  size  by
       including the odldb and odlstyle options in the ya field.  If you spec‐
       ify a value for the yt field, use fifo.	For more information on	 these
       fields, see printcap(4).

NOTES
       The  lpr	 command supports a number of options and associated arguments
       to enable localization features supported by various printers. The fol‐
       lowing  can be used with the la88cof print filter: To specify the Soft‐
       ODL database path To specify SoftODL font style and size

       For a complete description of the -A option and its arguments, refer to
       lpr(1).

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