DESCRIPTIONlexmarkoptra is a System V printer driver for the Lexmark Optra line of
printers. The Lexmark 4039 Plus can also be driven with the lexmarkoptra
driver.
Lexmark Optra printers are OEM'ed to Genicom as the Genicom 7910, 7912
and 7916 and are supported by this driver. (The Optra is OEM'ed to other
vendors and they should also work.)
The Lexmark Optra C Color Laser Printer is not supported (use the generic
color PostScript driver for the Optra C).
The lexmarkoptra driver reads a PostScript file from standard in. A
filename can also be used for input. The driver pre-pends Printer Job
Language (PJL) commands to the input stream and writes it to standard
out. The PJL commands generated vary based on the command line options
passed to the driver.
The output from the lexmarkoptra driver is typically piped to the
phandler(1) driver or the nethandler(1) driver for delivery to the
printer. This is done in the lexmarkoptra_model file found in
/var/spool/lp/model.
The lexmarkoptra driver opens and updates the POD files for the specified
printer. The file <printername>.config contains the detailed information
on the printer's capabilities, <printername>.status contains the
information on operational status of the printer, and <printername>.log
contains the information on print job history. For more information on
printer database files refer to the libpod(3) man page.
USAGE-P printername
Required: Specifies the printer name, as installed under the
SGI spooler, and as visible in the printer manager.
-S papersize
Specify the paper size. The default page size is A. The legal
values are "A", "Legal", "A4", "B5" and "EXEC". The driver
defaults to A size paper if the papersize value is invalid.

LEXMARKOPTRA(1) Impressario LEXMARKOPTRA(1)-d duplexoption
Controls the duplex option. Valid values are "off",
"bindShortSide" and "bindLongSide". Default is off.
-o mediatype
Specify the media type. Valid values are "0" for plain paper.
"1" for card stock. "2" for transparencies. Default is "0"
(plain paper).
-J printdarkness
Specify the print darkness used by the printer. Valid values
are "Normal", "Light", "Dark", "Toner", and "Draft". Toner
sets toner saver mode. Default is Normal.
-T mediatray
Specify the media tray for media source. Valid values are
"upper","lower","manual","feeder". Default is upper.
-X X resolution
Specify the X resolution. Valid values are "300", "600", or
"1200". Default is 600.
-Y Y resolution
Specify the Y resolution. Valid values are "300", "600", or
"1200". Default is 600.
-L logfilename
Specify the name of the file for writing the print spool log
information. If logfilename is not specified, then the driver
writes the information to standard error. The logfilename is
not the same as the printer database log file in
/var/spool/lp/pod. This option is provided only for
compatibility with the System V spooler architecture.
-D Turns on debugging information. Four levels of debugging
information are supported: none, coarse detail, medium detail,
and fine detail. These correspond to 0, 1, 2, and 3 or more -D
switches given on the command line. That is, multiple -D
options given on the command line result in progressively more
detailed debugging information.
-s Specifies that the driver should exit after ascertaining
printer status and updating the POD status file.

LEXMARKOPTRA(1) Impressario LEXMARKOPTRA(1)-w Specify this flag to suppress warning messages in the printer
status file. By default the warning messages are written to the
printer status file.
-t Print a test page. When this option is specified the input file
and standard error are ignored and a test page is printed.
-h Prints a usage message.
[inputfile]
Specify the name of the file to be printed. If inputfile is not
specified, then the driver reads the input from its standard
input.
