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.
