Dear Managers,
I have been able to use an NT server to print from Unix using the lpd
service. I am having problems in getting the correct formatting. I am using
two printers, a backend and a frontend printer an use a filter to format it
on the Unix system and send it to the NT box. I am getting truncated
outputs. But the same print is OK directly from Unix system.
Following is the printcap entry:
systems_admin|lp163|SYSTEMS_ADMIN|Systems_Admin:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:of=/usr/lbin/actewrem/testrem:\
:sh:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd163:
# Backend Printer for Systems_admin ( Through NT print server Zenith)
lp164|164|testrem|TESTREM:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp164err:\
:lp=\
:rm=zenith.actew.oz.au:\
:rp=FY01-02UX:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd164:\
:sh
Output filter:
pg /usr/lbin/actewrem/testrem
#!/bin/ksh
params=$*
cat | /usr/lbin/actewps4 $params | /usr/bin/lpr -l Ptestrem
actewps4 is the filter I use for converting to postscript and formatting.
Has any body experienced the same. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
