foomatic-getpjloptions - <put a short description here>

       Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using output from the associated
       binary.   Modified  by  Patrick  Powell  <papowell  at  lprng.com> to provide betters support for network
       printers, error messages, and remove CR and FF from output.

foomatic-getpjloptions  Sends  a  set  of  PJL  commands and reads back the PJL options and status from a
       printer over a network connection or device  bidirectional  interface  such  as  parallel,  USB,  serial.
       printers  to  standard  output. The output can be piped into foomatic-addpjloptions to add options to the
       database.

   Optionsdevice    The interface to which a local printer is connected, e.g. /dev/lp0,  /dev/usb/lp0,  /dev/tty00,
                 etc.   For  a  parallel port, you must have bidirectional support enabled at the BIOS level and
                 the parallel port driver must support the bidirectional mode.  Check your  parallel  port  BIOS
                 settings for  EPP/bi-directional mode.

       hostname  Host name or IP address of a network printer (HP JetDirect, DLINK, etc.).

       port      Port  on  which  your  network printer listens for socket (Appsocket) connections.  Most common
                 ports are 9100  (JetDirect),  10000  (DLINK).   Usually  you  can  configure  the  port  via  a
                 configuration interface.

       Uni-directional protocols as remote LPD are not supported as no status is returned.  Some  network  print
       servers which attach to a printer parallel port do not support bidirectional mode.
