NAME
       lp - line printer

DESCRIPTION
       The  lp device refers to the line printer attached to the parallel port.  Any byte written to this device is printed.  Only one process may
       have the device open.

       The write (2) call may return with a smaller count then the number of bytes requested to write.	The next write call is then likely to fail
       with the error code EAGAIN if the printer is out of paper, or EIO if the printer is turned off.

FILES
       /dev/lp	 Parallel port device.

SEE ALSO
       lp(1).

BUGS
       Only one parallel port is supported.
