DESCRIPTION
       With nprint, you can print files on print queues of a Net-
       Ware file server.

       There are a lot of options, so you  should  probably  wrap
       some default configurations into some shell scripts.

       nprint  looks  up  the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file
       server,  a  user  name  and  possibly  a   password.   See
       nwclient(5)  for  more  information.  Please note that the
       access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for  security
       reasons.

OPTIONS
       file
          file is the name of the file you want to print. If file
          is '-', or no filename  is  given,  standard  input  is
          used.

       -h
          -h is used to print out a short help text.

       -S server
          server is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
          user  is  the user name to use for the print request at
          the server.

       -P password
          password is the password to use for the  print  request
          at  the server. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the
          user has no  open  connection  to  the  server,  nprint
          prompts for a password.

       -n
          -n  should  be given if no password is required for the
          print request.

       -C
          By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before
          they  are  sent  to  the  server,  because most servers

          require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C.

       -q queue name
          queue name is the name of the print queue to use at the
          print  server. At present, you must specify it in upper
          case characters.

       -d job description
          job description is the string that appears in  pconsole
          when  you list the jobs for the print queue. It is also
          printed somewhere on the top of the banner page.

       -p pathname
          pathname is the string you want to be  printed  on  the
          banner page in the field

       -b bannername
          bannername is the string (up to 12 characters) you want
          to appear on the lower part of the banner page.

       -f filename
          filename is the string (up to 12 characters)  you  want
          to  appear  on  the  upper  part  of  the  banner page.
          Default: the name of  the  file  that  is  printed,  or
          'stdin'.

       -l lines
          lines  is  the  number  of  lines  to  put on one page.
          Default: 66

       -r rows
          rows is the number of rows to put on one page. Default:
          80

       -c copies
          copies  tells  the print server to the specified number
          of copies. Default: 1

       -t tabs
          tabs is the number of spaces to print for a Tab-Charac-
          ter. Default: 8

       -T
          tells  the print server to expand Tab-Character and use
          8 spaces

       -N
          tells the print server not to use Form Feeds

       -F form number
          form number is the the number of the  form  to  be  put
          into  the  printer. If it's different from the one cur-
          rently in the printer, your job is only  printed  if  a
          printer operator has put in the correct form.
