Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to share this if not I'm sorry.
I have just intsalled a new system with apsfilter and a2ps, and when printing
text have found a problem. It seems that the parameters that apsfilter calls
a2ps are not compatable.
I'm running apsfilter version 6.0.0 and a2ps version 4.3. When I print a file
for example the hosts file via lpr /etc/hosts it seems that a2ps calls
apsfilter with the following:
a2ps -M "$A2PS_PAPERSIZE" -b"Printed by $USER from $HOST" --center-ti
tle="$JOB" $A2PS_BASIC -1 --borders=no --no-header -q -o -
However the only option that a2ps understands of teh above is the -q...
If I modify apsfilterrc as follows...
# override the complete a2ps commandline
#A2PS_OPTS='-X iso1 -m --borders=yes --prologue=color --highlight-level=heavy'
A2PS_OPTS=' '
and apsfilter shell script...
if [ "$A2PS_OPTS" ]; then
#print_ps a2ps '$A2PS_OPTS' -q -o -
print_ps a2ps '$A2PS_OPTS' -q
Then printing works fine.
I guess this is a problem with the compatability of the two packages.
Thanks
MB
