 NAME
      pdq - print one or more files

 SYNOPSIS
      pdq [-h | --help] [--debug-rc] [-d | -P printer ] [-ooption] [-
      aVAR=value [-Ooption] [-AVAR=value

 DESCRIPTION
      pdq prints the listed files, or STDIN if none is listed.  The printer
      is selected with the -d or -P flag.  If none is given, the job is sent
      to the default printer.  Driver options and arguments are specified
      with the -o and -a flags respectively.  Interface options and
      arguments are specified with the -O and -A flags respectively.  To
      show printer-specific options and arguments, pass the -h or --help
      flag, and at the same time select a particular printer with the -d or
      -P flag.

 OPTIONS
      -a VAR=value
           Set driver argument VAR to value.

      -A VAR=value
           Set interface argument VAR to value.

      -d printer
           Send job to printer.  The -P option may also be used to select
           printer.

      -h, --help
           Show summary usage.  If no printer is selected, a list of
           available printers will be displayed.  If a printer is selected,
           available options and arguments will be displayed.

      --debug-rc
           Be verbose as resources are defined, redefined, and deleted, and
           as options and parameters are set, then exit.  Hacking a driver
           and nothing happens? Are you hacking the wrong file?  Use this
           option to see where that pesky driver is hiding.

      -o option
           Select driver option option.

      -O option
           Select interface option option.

      -P printer
           Send job to printer.  The -d option may also be used to select
           printer.
