      NAME
           vp - Versatec printer/plotter in print mode (FDLP board
           only)

      DESCRIPTION
           /dev/vp refers to Versatec printer/plotter in print mode on
           the Versatec printer/plotter connector using the FDLP board.

           When it is closed, a page eject is generated.  Bytes written
           are printed.

           The driver interprets carriage return (0DH), newline (0AH),
           tab (09H), and form-feed (0CH) characters.

           Two ioctl(2) system calls are available:

                #include <sys/lprio.h>
                ioctl (fildes, command, arg)
                struct lprio *arg;

           The commands are:

                LPRGET  Get the current printer parameters and store in
                        the lprio structure referenced by arg.

                LPRSET  Set the current printer parameters from the
                        structure referenced by arg.

           This allows an external program to control tab expansion,
           tab size, carriage return expansion, and newline expansion.
