I am setting up a new installation of apsfilter to a network printer.
There a re the install options I have set during apsfilter setup.
(D) Available Device Drivers in your gs binary
(R) Read Ghostscript driver documentation (devices.txt)
(1) Printer Driver Selection [ljet4]
(2) Interface Setup [samba]
(3) Paper Format [letter]
(4) Printing Quality [high]
(5) Color Mode [gray]
(6) Print Resolution in "dots per inch" [600x600]
(7) Default Printing Method [auto]
I go to print a test page, and it's successful;
Printing Test page using:
gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER -dSAFER -r600x600 -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sOutputFile='/tmp/apsfilter88754/test_page.aps' setup/test.ps
Ok to print testpage? [y/n] y
I creates and entry in /etc/printcap;
lp|ljet4;r=600x600;q=high;c=gray;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
But it will not print with the command
ls | lp
or
ls | lpr
or
lp -dlp
I installed samba without CUPS printing support.
# lpc stat all
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries in spool area
printer idle
Any ideas how I can bridge from a working test to a non-working
print setup?
