printd is the daemon
It manages the printer queue
The queue is a directory
printd selects a file from the directory and copies it to /dev/lp
When there are no files, it sleeps for a while
Putting jobs in the queue is someone else's responsibility
I wrote a program called print to do it
Converting jobs to the proper format is print's responsibility
Adding cover pages is print's responsibility
But if you want to use cp instead, you are welcome to do so
