I am now recovering and slowly catching up. The laptop which had this problem won't be back on the ethernet for another two weeks, so I won't be able to do more testing. And maybe, since so much time has passed, I'd better CVSup and try again. Anyway, here are the answers to your questions: At Fri, 22 Jun 2001 12:55:26 -0400, Garance A Drosihn wrote: > > At 2:42 PM +0200 6/22/01, Georg-W.

It's a filter that I copied and edited a long while ago. It's based on some example in the handbook, I believe, and it checks if the printfile is PostScript. It then passes the PostScript file through GhostScript, or passes the non-PostScript file directly to the printer. > > When was the last time you had sync'ed up with current? A couple of days before my report (around 6/15 to 6/18). It all worked flawlessly up to the last CVSup, and then broke. > > While there have been some changes to lpd in the past month, there > shouldn't be any that would alter this section of the code. Yes, that was my impression after looking at the CVS log. Thanks for caring, I will come back when I am completely online (at work), if the problem still exists after a fresh CVSup. -- Regards, Georg.
