NAME
ripsock - drive a PostScript rip via a TCP/IP socket
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/appletalk/ripsock [ -D ] [ -h hostname ] [ -p port
] [ -s servicename ] [ -w waittime ]
DESCRIPTION
The ripsock program accepts data from stdin and sends it to
the specified TCP/IP socket. Its purpose is to send the
output of a spooler to a RIP that accepts data that way
without ever hitting disk. This filter is designed to be
called from a "Custom" print queue. The flags are defined as
follows:
-h specifies the host to send the job to. The default is
the local host.
-s defines the name of the service (as specified in
/etc/services) to be used. Defaults to "dps". If a
port is specified, the service name is ignored.
-p defines the port number of the service.
-w supplies the time in seconds to wait after sending the
data to the RIP for feedback from it. The default is
15.
-D turns on debugging about sending data.
