Settings for UNIX 9-2
Many different remote printer names may be set up , all directed
to the same network adapter remote host, and each is given a
different local printer name to be redirected. Different types of
print jobs may be sent to different printer names, which will then
all print out on the same printer, through t he same network
adapter interface, but using different filters.
The remote printer name options used to invoke the different
filters are as follows:

with a form feed appended:
% lpr -plpaf txtfile
