Hi,
Our DEC 3000/400 running OSF1 3.2 is used as the printer
server of the subnet. The subnet includes various UNIX systems.
All print jobs are sent to a virtual printer on this host. The
virtual printer is actually a filter that converts ascii files into
postscript and passes postscript files unchanged. The output of this
virtual printer goes to a physical printer HP Laser-jet 4 M Plus
on the subnet.
The filter we use is /usr/lbin/ln03rof.
Currently, we do not have any banner page. This results in frequent pile-up
of some unclaimed printout.
I tried to turn the banner page on. It worked fine for ascii
files. But for a postscript file, the filter sees the banner page
first before '%! so it thinks this is an ascii file. The output of
a postscript file turned out to be a banner page plus pages of ascii
characters.
I do not have any documents about the system. I wonder where I should
look into or look for help?
Is there a better filter that can recognize the banner page?
Thanks in advance.
