Hi all,

We have DU3.2G, what I want to do is have a filter file which
will let me change fonts,landscape/portrait, etc.

My printcap file looks as follows

lp03:lp3:\
               :lf=/usr/adm/lp3err:\
               :lp=:\
               :rm=remote_nt_pc:\
               :rp=printer:\
               :sd=/usr/spool/lpd3:
lp04:lp4:\
               :lf=/usr/adm/lp4err:\
               :lp=:\
               :rm=remote_nt_pc:\
               :rp=printer:\
               :sd=/usr/spool/lpd4:
My wish.....

Print to lp03 as is (ie portait)
Print to lp04 as landscape, I know this may need something like

         .....
         :lp=:\
         :of=/usr/local/bin/landscape:\
         ......

but I can't seem to get it to work :(

TIA
