System: AlphaStation 200 4/166
OS: Digital Unix 3.2G
Printer: Digital LN17PS
Can anyone out there give me the magical incantation to allow the printing of
both text and postscript files from the same print queue? I am able to print
text to a text queue and postscript to a postscript queue, but I cannot get
both from the same queue.
My /etc/printcap file is:
# ** |text| entry maintained by Digital Equipment Installation Program **
# server type =DNIC-ENet
# printer interface type =psio
# server physical port number =1
# printer emulation =Text
text|text|Digital Equipment network printer on port 1:\
:lp=:\
:rm=text:\
:rp=TEXT:\
:mx#0:\
:pw#0:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/text/errorlog:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/text:\
:dec_n=206.101.97.41:\
:dec_p=515:
# ** |bass| entry maintained by Digital Equipment Installation Program **
# server type =DNIC-ENet
# printer interface type =psio
# server physical port number =1
# printer emulation =PS
bass|bass|Digital Equipment network printer on port 1:\
:lp=:\
:rm=bass:\
:rp=PASSTHRU:\
:mx#0:\
:pw#0:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/bass/errorlog:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/textps.csh:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/bass:\
:dec_n=206.101.97.41:\
:dec_p=515:
The script for the input filter is:
#!/bin/csh
# Name: textps.csh
/usr/local/bin/textps $*
textps when called directly will take a text file and put a postscript
wrapper around it which will print just fine. However, when I try to call it
up via the script file that I use as an itput filter, the file is still sent
as text to the printer. Anyone out there know how to make this work?
Thanks in advance
