hpset
creates binary control sequences for the Hewlett-Packard Laser Jet
printer from human-readable switch settings on the command line.
It can conveniently be used in printer filter scripts.
One or more of the following switches may be specified. The order is
not significant, except that if the
-reset
switch is given, its control sequence will be sent first. Switch
values can be in either letter case.

Typical values for a letter page with the resident Courier font
are:
hpset -left 10 -right 10 -top 6 -page 60 -cpi 10 \
-lpi 6 -auto -portrait
Normally, one should not need to set the right margin, since
this could cause truncation of output text.
If
-reset
is not given, then previous parameters set in the printer are left
intact.
If more than one option from an option group above is given,
the last one on the command line is the one actually used.
None known.
