This is my printcap: lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :if=/etc/filter.ps:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\ :pl#66:\ :pw#80:\ :pc#150:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: This is my filter.ps: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=stcolor \ -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE\ -r360x360 -dSAFER -dOutputCode=512 -sOutputFile=- - If I invoke the filter with /etc/filter.ps <filetoprint.ps >/dev/lp1 the printer prints. If I do lpr filetoprint.ps nothing appear. If I do lpq it says "lp is ready and is printing" but it is not true. If in the printcap I change the "if" directive with "of" the lpq command says that there is not the lpd running but it is not true because ps -aux shows it running. --- Mario Giammarco | Tel/FAX +39-545-22965 Via Calamandrei,5 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 48022 Lugo (RA) -- ITALY | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
