Name

grolj4 - groff driver for HP Laserjet 4 family

grolj4 [ -lv ] [ -d ] [ -c ] [ -p ] [ -w ] [ -F ] [ files... ]

grolj4 is a driver for groff that produces output in PCL5 format suitable for an HP Laserjet 4 printer.

There is an additional drawing command available:

\D’R dh dv’: Draw a rule (solid black rectangle), with one corner at the current position, and the diagonally opposite corner at the current position +(dh,dv). Afterwards the current position will be at the opposite corner. This generates a PCL fill rectangle command, and so will work on printers that do not support HPGL/2 unlike the other \D commands.

It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and its parameter.

-cn: Print n copies of each page.
-l: Print the document with a landscape orientation.
-d [n]: Use duplex mode n: 1 is long-side binding; 2 is short-side binding; default is 1.
-psize: Set the paper size to size, which must be one of letter, legal, executive, a4, com10, monarch, c5, b5, dl.
-v: Print the version number.
-wn: Set the default line thickness to n thousandths of an em. If this option isn’t specified, the line thickness defaults to 0.04~em.
