hp -- Command

Prepare files for Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer
hp [ -acflr ] [ -imarg ] [ -ttop ] [ -plines ] [ file ... ]

The  command hp  translates  nroff font  specifications  into the   correct
escape sequences for an HP LaserJet compatible printer.  It also allows the
user to  set indentation, page length, landscape mode,  and so on.  Because
some LaserJet printers stack pages in reverse order as they are printed, hp
can put pages out in reverse order.

hp recognizes the following options:

-f     Print pages in the normal order.  This is the default.

-imarg Set the page indentation to marg.

-l     Print pages in landscape mode.

-plines
       Set the page length to lines.

-r     Print pages in reverse order (for LaserJet I).

-ttop  Set the top margin to top.

Example

To generate listings of all C  programs in the current directory, enter the
command

    pr *.c | hp | hpr -B
