That should be no problem. If I read the specifications
for the Xerox Phaser 6280V DN correctly, it supports both
PS and PCL.
Here's an example for a PCL printer filter:
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2
gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER -dSAFER -sPAPERSIZE=a4
-r600x600 \
-sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- - && exit 0
exit 2
The "ljet4" produces PCL, it can also be used to access
features like duplexer (add -dDuplex=true). It basically
does the same as the apsfilter filter, except that the
apsfilter one has support for "pretty printing" and
direct command line printing, so
% lpr foo.c
or
% lpr bar.png
can be issued directly, no need to create a PS stream
by another application.
You can easily add that filter to /etc/printcap's if= setting,
add rm= with the IP or hostname of the printer, prepare the
spool and it should work.
