As you should! CUPS is horrible... I also use apsfilter. I can print
almost any file I want just by doing lpr filename
apsfilter's generated config required some hand tweaking by me, but
here's an example I'll drop for you:
/etc/printcap:
netlaser|netlaser;r=600x600;q=medium;c=gray;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=9100@netlaser:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/netlaser:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/netlaser/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/netlaser/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
/etc/hosts:
192.168.94.5 netlaser
/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/netlaser/apsfilterrc:
#
# don't delete these settings
#
PRINTER='PS'
PAPERSIZE='letter'
METHOD='auto'
QUALITY='medium'
COLOR='gray'
RESOLUTION='600x600'
# apsfilter as jukebox
# important if audio playback device is a network print queue
# INTERFACE='network'
INTERFACE='network'
And then I think I just had to create /var/spool/lpd/netlaser with
ownership root:daemon and 755
After that I think restarting lpd and it just works?
