Hi,
I'm trying to print an ASCII file to an HP Laserjet 5L. Plain postscript
printing seems to work ok-- if I use a2ps to convert the text file to ps,
it prints fine. But when I simply use "lpr somefile", it just prints a
page with
Error: /typecheck in --closefile
Operand Stack:
--nostringval-- ()
Execution
Here's the relevant portion of /etc/princap; I think apsfilter is at least
being called, but it's not doing it's job right.
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
lp|Printer1 auto:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
raw1|Printer1 raw:\

:af=/var/spool/lpd/raw1/acct:\
:mx#0:\

:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
Thanks
