I have two FreeBSD v5.2.1 systems and a Windows XP system. The first FBSD
system (192.168.1.1) is acting as the print server and using apsfilter as
the filtering software. The Windows XP box prints to the .1 system through
SAMBA. Both the FBSD .1 server and the Windows box print fine. Text is
good, images are good, everything is good.
The problem I'm having is with printing from the second FBSD system which
I'll identify as 192.168.1.2. The FBSD .2 system is sending print jobs to
the FBSD .1 system using remote lpd printing. The jobs are making it to the
remote FBSD system (192.168.1.1), but the text and images are about 50%
larger than what is printed from the FBSD .1 system itself, or the windows
XP system.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem? My printcap entries are as follows:
192.168.1.1 PRINTCAP ENTRY (the FBSD print server)
--------------------------------------------------
HP1300|PS;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP1300:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/HP1300/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/HP1300/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
192.168.1.2 PRINTCAP ENTRY (the other FBSD machine)
---------------------------------------------------
HP1300:lp=:rm=192.168.1.1:rp=HP1300:sd=/var/spool/lpd/qdir
By the way, the HP1300 is the only printer attached to the FBSD .1 machine
and there are no other printers on either of the other systems.
