IFHP-HOWTO
17 May 1999 (For ifhp-3.2.9)
The ifhp software is an enhanced, extended, highly configurable,
and portable implementation of a print filter for use with the ifhp
Print spooler software.
It supports network, serial, and parallel printers,
does page accounting and job recovery,
and allows an extremely high level of configuration and tuning.
The ifhp filter gets its flexibility by using a configuration file
to set its operational characteristics. The configuration file can contain
multiple separate printer configurations, and the desired one can be
selected by a simple mechanism.
The filter can support vintage text, PostScript,
PCL, and PJL printers, and can be configured to handle a wide range of
printer quirks and misimplementations.
