I have an alpha running OSF3.2, and want to provide laser printing, probably
using an HPLJ with a JetDirect card.
However, I need to run an lpd input filter (to implement pre-emptive charging)
so the printer has to appear local to the alpha's lpd. I've seen mumbling
regarding the JetDirect and hplaserpsof filter, but nothing very definite.
I've also seen reference to a daemon to do this (nic_print ?), sounds like the
sort of thing I need.
So, can I print to a JetDirect equipped printer across an ethernet as if it
were attached locally to the OSF host (hence running my custom input filter),
and if so how?
All thoughts/comments appreciated,
Simon
