NAME
pbm2ppa - Prints a pbm- or pbmraw-format <infile> to HP720/820/1000-format <outfile>..
SYNOPSIS
pbm2ppa [options] [<infile> [<outfile>]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pbm2ppa command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
pbm2ppa is a program that permits printing in B&W on some GDI printers that use PPA (printer performance architecture) protocol like HP DeskJet 720, 820 or 1000 series.
The preffered way to use the filter is through magicfilter. Please select pbm2ppa filter when you configure magicfilter.
OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below.
The -x and -y options accumulate. The -v option resets the horizontal and vertical adjustments to an internal default. <infile> and <outfile> default to stdin and stdout. '-' is a synonym for stdin and stdout.
The file /etc/pbm2ppa.conf, if it exists, is processed as a configuration file before any command-line parameters are processed.

[etc.]Valid keys are 'version', 'xoffset', 'yoffset', 'topmargin', 'leftmargin', version of these words. Valid values are the same as with the corresponding command-line parameters. Parameters in the configuration file act as though the corresponding parameters were substituted, in order, for the '-f' parameter which specified the file.
