DESCRIPTION
plpprintd provides a print server for a Psion, connected to the PC.

- -c, --printcmd=cmd
-

specified command must receive the data from its standard input. If this
option is missing, a builtin default

- -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.

contains the PostScript® dictionary, needed for printing the jobs.

Psion's font names into valid PostScript® font names. It's format is
described at the beginning of it. If a Psion font name is received which
can not be found in this file, a builtin default Courier is used.

Using patterns in diagrams gives ugly results.
