Having problems printing .ps files and -Olandscape
(anyfile). Using DU 4.0F, and printer is Laserjet
HP8000DN. Printer is hooked up locally on lp0, and
here is my printcap portion for this printer, trying
to print to "fancy":
# Duplex printer in ###
degas|simplex:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sh:mx#0:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/degas:\
:if=/opt/printfilter/bin/ifhp -Z simplex:\
:of=/opt/printfilter/bin/ofhp:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/degas/errorlog:
lp|fancy:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sh:mx#0:\
:if=/opt/printfilter/bin/lj8000-filter:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/fancy:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/fancy/errorlog:
duplex:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sh:mx#0:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/degas:\
:if=/opt/printfilter/bin/ifhp -Z duplex:\
:of=/opt/printfilter/bin/ofhp:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/degas/errorlog:
Problems:
1. When I send a .ps printjob regularly, thru regular
lpr command and Letter paper, I get "Can't select
requested paper size for Frame print job!"
So, I went ahead and did a manual feed for legal
paper.
Then it prints, but potrait. This way it chops of the
document both sides. Looks like it will fit right if I
print landscape. So I use "lpr -Olandscape filename",
it still comes out portrait.
2. Another postscript file, within a large document.
Using Ghostview (gv), and selecting "print
current/selected page", the following comes up:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: mF
STACK:
/Times-Roman
true
/Type1
/Times-Roman
0.905
/F0
When I print the whole document, there is no problem!!
(but it is a 30 page doc, and I only needed 1!!)
I will really appreciate all the hints I get can get.
I checked archives, found something about
:lp_at_aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/hpjd and using
of=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
but since in my case this printer is hooked up to lp0,
I was not sure of how to cordinate this. Although it
is hooked up to lp0 on machine A, all other machines
access it as a network printer. I tried printing
remotely and locally, same results.
