I set lf=/var/log/hpcolor and thought that would fix it but it didn't. The info that prints after the job is finished looks like: User: username Host. Host.somwhere.com Class: host.somwhere.com Job: jobname.Eh3242 If you have any suggestions on how to print this to a file instead of printing to the hp, I would appreciate it.

In fact, 2.2.8 even lets you use filters on remote printers, which made setting up auto-postscript filters much easier. lp|hp4sales1|Sales HP4 Plus 1:\ :lp=/dev/null:rm=hp4sales1.bfd.com:rp=text:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4sales1:mx#0: \ :if=/usr/local/libexec/psfilter_hp4: where hp4sales1.bfd.com is an HP4+, and /usr/local/libexec/psfilter_hp4 is a little C program that auto-converts PS into PCL without touching anything else. In fact, by specifying rp=text you don't even suffer from the stairstepping effect. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
