+DESCRIPTION The
+line printer special file is
+the UNIX interface to a DEC LP-11 line printer.
+This file may only be opened (or creat'ed) for writing.
+Anything written on this file is printed on the line printer.
+The following special cases for the
+printer are handled:
+.sp
+.in +3
+On opening and on closing, the paper is
+slewed to the top of the next page.
+.sp
+For the 64 character printer (LP11-FA),
+all lower case letters are
+converted to upper case.
+.sp
+Tabs are converted to align on every eighth column.
+.sp
+New lines and form feeds are ignored when the
+printer is at the top of a page.
+This is done so that pr__ and roff____ output may
+be directed to the printer and sync on
+page boundaries even with automatic page slew.
+.sp
+Carriage return and back space
+can cause multiple printing on a single line
+to allow for overstruck graphics.
