pp is a small tool to get the status from and give commands to the parallel port driver. It is nice to experiment with and find out the optimal retransmit timeouts, but I also used it as a general debugging tool when attaching my printer. The original black NeXT (m68k) computers don't have a parallel port. I tested the program on i386 architecture only, although it should work on HPPA and SPARC architectures as well. This program has absolutely no warranty and is distributed under GPL. Marcel Waldvogel <marcel@nice.ch> (21Jul1996)
