Hi again,
I have been trying to get my freebsd box to print postscript to a
remote hp laserjet 4si using ghostscript in a filter and have met
with no success. I suspect that the problem is that the file is not
being passed through the filter. I say this because after trying to
get the simple filter that I wrote to work I tried using a "test"
filter that wrote some lines to a file in /tmp...and nothing
happened. Here's what my printcap file looks like:
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
#lp|local line printer:\
# :lp=/dev/lp:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
lp|remote laserjet printer:\
:lp=:\
:rm=168.26.193.121:\
:rp=raw:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp_raw.log:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/psfilt:
and this is what the psfilt looks like:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- -
I don't understand why this isn't working....I've read everything
that I can find and tried everything that I know to do.
Please let me know if there is something that I am doing wrong or if
there is something I am missing.
Btw. the system is running 2.0.5-RELEASE if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Christian
