## lptest

    /usr/ucb/lptest [length [n]]

Display all 96 printable ASCII characters on the standard output. Characters are printed in each position, forming a "ripple pattern." You can specify the output line `length` (default is 79) and display `n` lines of output (default is 200). lptest is useful for testing printers and terminals or for running shell scripts with dummy input.
