grolj4: groff driver for HP LaserJet 4 family

NAME

grolj4 - groff driver for HP LaserJet 4 family

SYNOPSIS

[ -l ] [ -c num-copies ] [-d [n]] [ -F font-directory ] [ -p paper-size ] [ -w line-width ] [file ...] --help -v --version

DESCRIPTION

grolj4 is a driver for groff that produces output in PCL5 format suitable for an HP LaserJet 4 printer.

There is an additional drawing command available:

\D'R dh dv'
Draw a rule (solid black rectangle), with one corner at the current position, and the diagonally opposite corner at the current position +(dh,dv). Afterwards the current position will be at the opposite corner. This generates a PCL fill rectangle command, and so will work on printers that do not support HPGL/2 unlike the other \D commands.
