Dear Sirs. I hope this message is been read by someone ... I think it is not a pure "magicfilter"-problem, but something related. We drive all of our printers with magicfilter with great success. Since the last weekend we changed the configuration, means, I changed several harddrives on the specific machine and installed a new FreeBSD with all the stuff needed to operate well. And I took the previous config files out of /etc /usr/local/etc and libexec, also for magicfilter. After installing all the necessary stuff like a2ps and so on I get a lot of errors they tell me, that the printing system/magicfilter isn't able to load fixps. fixps is well installed in /usr/local/bin and fully accessible! After making a link into /usr/bin all things worked fine again, but this is not a good solution. How to pass through the environment to the lpr-subsystem and for that magicfilter to find its appropriate tools? I have already set up PATH and a lot of other stuff in /etc/login.conf to come along with that path-problem - but after lpr gets its environment, it soes not pass it through to a2ps to find fixps and so on. These programs obviously use a standard path and this seems to be /usr/bin including. But there are lost of other programs needed by several filter mechachnisms ... Any help? Thanks ... -- MfG O.
