Thanks guys. I had read several sources (including Warren's) when I finally broke down like a little girl and had to ask for insight. > You can also define $PRINTER (for example in /etc/csh.cshrc globally) with > the name of the printer. I had never read about this and it never ocurred to me before - thanks. As you guessed, I was not using "lpr -P hp2100" > These are CUPS options. Standard lpd does not understand them. Well a day's work wasted there... > Or apsfilter options. Hence the idea of modifying my existing /usr/local/libexec/lf2crlf to define the desired printer settings, since appsfilter is a collection of filter files, AFAIK? I had already read in man printcap that one must use <px - page.pwidth, py - page.plength> (in pixels) as page size. However considering that I have print/papersize-default-a4 installeed, there should be a simpler way to define it as default rather than px/py in printcap? Also, I do not find any way of defining resolution (r=), quality (q=) and orieantation (m=) in printcap, and the job ends up using the default printer settings (excluding the a4 parameter which is sent from host) - so I logically come back to the filter file... Thanks for the help. ----- FreeBSD-11-current_amd64_root-on-zfs_RadeonKMS -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/printcap-configuration-problem-tp5929730p5929805.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
