Specify a directory to use for temporary spool files. If this option is missing, a builtin default /var/spool/plpprint is used.

-p, --port=[host:]port
Specify the host and port to connect to (e.g. The port where ncpd is listening on) - by default the host is 127.0.0.1 and the port is looked up in /etc/services. If it is not found there, a builtin value of 7501 is used.
