<h1 class="SECT1"><a name="AEN291" id="AEN291">1.10. References
and Standards</a></h1>
<p>The following references and standards have been used in the
development of the <b class="APPLICATION">LPRng</b>
software.</p>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN295" id="AEN295">1.10.1.
RFCs</a></h2>
<p>During the early development of the Internet developers
did not want to go through the laborious process of
developing formal standards and applying to a standards body
such as the EIA, IEEE, or ISO. Instead, they called the
standards documents they developed [<span class=
"CITATION">Requests for Comments</span>]. These soon became
<span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">de
facto</i></span> standards, and with the formal acceptance of
the TCP/IP protocol as a network standard, <span class=
"emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">de jure</i></span> as
well.</p>
<p>You can get copies of the RFCs from literally hundreds of
network sites, including <a href="http://www.isi.edu" target=
"_top">http://www.isi.edu</a>, <a href=
"http://www.faqs.org/rfcs" target=
"_top">http://www.faqs.org/rfcs</a>, <a href=
"ftp://NIS.NSF.NET" target="_top">NIS.NSF.NET</a>, <a href=
"ftp://RFC.JVNC.NET" target="_top">RFC.JVNC.NET</a>, or
<a href="ftp://FTP.ISI.EDU" target=
"_top">FTP.ISI.EDU</a>.</p>
<p>The [<span class="CITATION">RFC1179 - Line Printer Daemon
Protocol</span>] describes the protocol used to transfer jobs
from client program to print server. See <a href=
"rfc1179ref.htm">RFC1179</a> for more a discussion of this
protocol and more details about the RFC.</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="POSTSCRIPT" id=
"POSTSCRIPT">1.10.2. PostScript</a></h2>
<p>PostScript is one of the <span class="emphasis"><i class=
"EMPHASIS">de facto</i></span> standards for print jobs. The
Adobe Corporation (<a href="http://www.adobe.com" target=
"_top">http://www.adobe.com</a>) provides an excellent set of
references for the PostScript language. They have made many
of these available for downloading from their web sites or
have published them in book form.</p>
<p>The [<span class="CITATION">PostScript Language Reference
Manual</span>] contains a great deal of technical information
about the PostScript Language, and is the language reference
manual.</p>
<p>The [<span class="CITATION">PostScript Language Tutorial
and Cookbook</span>] is a very nice and easy to read
introduction to PostScript programming, and has some very
useful utilities. Combined with <a href=
"installation.htm#GHOSTSCRIPT">GhostScript</a> and the
<a href="installation.htm#GV">gv</a> display program you can
very easily learn to write your own small PostScript
programs, and more importantly, can learn to understand the
contents of PostScript files.</p>
<p>The [<span class="CITATION">PostScript Language Program
Design</span>] is the companion to the [<span class=
"CITATION">PostScript Language Tutorial and Cookbook</span>],
and has more complex examples of PostScript programs. More
importantly, it also introduces, although without
explanation, the PostScript Document Structuring Conventions
described in Appendix G of the The [<span class=
"CITATION">PostScript Language Reference Manual</span>]. This
alone makes it useful.</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="PCL" id="PCL">1.10.3. HP PCL
5</a></h2>
<p>The Hewlett-Packard (HP) PCL Printer Language is the
second de-facto standard for print jobs. Currently,
Hewlett-Packard makes documentation for PCL available through
their [<span class="CITATION">Developer Program</span>]. You
will need to register and then search their site for the
[<span class="CITATION">PCL 5 Printer Language Reference
Manual</span>].</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="PJL" id="PJL">1.10.4. HP
PJL</a></h2>
<p>The Hewlett-Packard (HP) Printer Job Language is used to
control various features of HP printers. The [<span class=
"CITATION">Printer Job Language Reference Manual</span>] is
also available from Hewlett-Packard (<a href=
"http://www.hp.com" target="_top">http://www.hp.com</a>)
through their [<span class="CITATION">Developer
Program</span>].</p>
</div>
<div class="SECT2">
<h2 class="SECT2"><a name="AEN336" id="AEN336">1.10.5.
PDF</a></h2>
<p>The Portable Document Format (<tt class=
"LITERAL">pdf</tt>) was developed by Adobe to be a more
useful method of distributing documentation for view by
online systems and software. The [<span class=
"CITATION">Portable Document Format Reference Manual</span>]
is available from Adobe (<a href="http://www.adobe.com"
target="_top">http://www.adobe.com</a>). While <tt class=
"LITERAL">pdf</tt> is not used directly as a print job
language, it is one of the more common formats for files that
need to be printed. It can be converted to PostScript by most
<tt class="LITERAL">pdf</tt> viewers such as GhostScript and
Adobe Acrobat.</p>
