I would like to set up filters in printcap so that from
unix I can print either postscript or text and the
the filter figures out which and prints it.
However I don't think the filters get used, because
I am lpring to an HP printer, remote machine.
lw-jesup-er|lw_jesup_er:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/queues/lw-jesup-er:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/queues/lw-jesup-er/lw-jesup-er.log:\
:of=/usr/local/bin/a2psif:\
:lp=:\
:rm=lw-jesup-er.williams.edu:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:du#0:pl#72:pw#85:mx#0:\
:rw:\
:sh:\
:sf:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
Is there a way to set up a queue that will run it through this a2psif filter
then send it to the remote machine or requeue it to a different queue. I do not
want to create a text queue and a postscript and have the user make the mistake
of printing to the wrong one.
thanks.
