Prepare files for Epson printer
eeppssoonn [ -ccddffrrww88 ] [ -bb _h_e_a_d ] [ -ii _n ] [ -oo _o_f_i_l_e ] [ -ss _n ] [ _f_i_l_e ... ]

eeppssoonn prepares each _f_i_l_e, or the standard input if none, for printing on an
Epson  MX-80  printer  or  compatible.   eeppssoonn  normally sends  its  output
directly to the line-printer device /ddeevv/llpp. It recognizes the nnrrooffff output
sequences for  boldface and italics and converts them  into the Epson codes
for emphasized print and italics.

eeppssoonn recognizes the following options:

-bb _h_e_a_d
     Print the given _h_e_a_d as a  double-width banner at the top of the first
     output page.

-cc   Use compressed printing mode.

-dd   Print  boldface as  double  strikes.  Normally,  eeppssoonn recognizes  the
     sequence ``_c\bb_c''  as boldface  and  prints _c  in emphasized  printing
     mode.  -dd is useful in conjunction with -cc.

-ff   Do not print a formfeed character at the end of each _f_i_l_e.

-ii_n  Indent _n spaces at the start of each output line.

-oo _o_f_i_l_e
     Send output to _o_f_i_l_e instead of /ddeevv/llpp.

-rr   Print all  characters in Roman;  do not  use italics.  Normally, eeppssoonn
     recognizes the sequence ``_\bb_c'' as italic  and prints _c in its italic
     character set.

-ss_n  Print _n newlines at the end  of each line.  _n must be 1, 2, or 3;  the
     default is 1.

-ww   Use double width printing mode.

-88   Print lines  with vertical spacing of eight lines  per inch instead of
     the default six lines per inch.
