I have a printer LaserJet 6p connected to Windows NT Workstation 4.0
(SP3)
There is a service of TCP/IP printing started on it.
When i try to print any plain txt file from my FreeBSD box ,
everything seems to be allright.
But when i need to print some graphics or PS files printer start to
print something like
PCL commands, not correct image.
here is a fragment:
---------
.?k2G.%-12345@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL
)HP-PCL XL;1;1
NX...... special charecters .... and so on.
---------
When I connect this printer dirrectly to FreeBSD box it prints
everything well.
In all cases i use the same if filters as described in handbook
----------------------------------
read first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
#
# It is PostScript; use Ghostscript to scan-convert and print it
#
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=lj5mono
-sOutputFile=- - \
?? exit 0
else
echo $first_line ?? cat ?? printf "\f" ?? exit 0
fi
exit 2
----------------------
Can any one tell how to fix it?
