NAME
     lptcontrol — a utility for manipulating the lpt printer driver

SYNOPSIS
     lptcontrol -i | -p | -e | -s [-d device]

DESCRIPTION
     The lptcontrol utility is used to set either the interrupt-driven,
     extended or polling mode of individual lpt(4) devices.  When a printer is
     switched from a mode to another, this change will only take effect the
     next time the device is opened.

     Extended mode is anything the parallel port interface can support.	 For
     an ECP/ISA parallel port, it may be FIFO+DMA or ECP.

     The following command line options are supported:

     -i	     Turn on interrupt-driven mode.

     -p	     Turn on polled mode.

     -e	     Turn on extended mode.

     -s	     Turn on standard mode, i.e. turn off extended mode.

     -d device
	     Set the mode of the printer device specified by device.  The
	     default value for device is /dev/lpt0.

     One of -i, -p or -e must be specified.
