A print filter determines what type of file you are trying to print, and what needs to be done with the file to create printable output and sends that to the print system. > My printer's > a Canon BJC-240. This model is supported by gimp-print 4.2.0, and 4.2.1 should have better support for all Canons, IIRC. > I found info about BJC-250, but nothing at least > that I knew how to use, and nothing close to mention of > "stairstepping" or other problems. The FreeBSD Handbook has a small script to fix stair stepping. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-troubleshooting.html Most of the printing info in the handbook would apply to BSD style lpd systems (the default on Debian?). > Okay, maybe I'm just killing time, while my sub-conscious mind works > on more important problems. :) :) > > Dunno about linux.

Well, I'll tell ya anyway ;) If there's an executable file at /usr/local/bin/fetchmail, then execute (via ssh) the command 'fetchmail' on host 'phreke'. Then ecexute /usr/local/bin/fetchmail. Using the '&&' instead of ';' to separate the command stops execution of later commands if the former returns with an error. > > However, if I have a script like: > > > > #!/bin/sh > > fetchmail > > exit 0 > > > > That would just execute /usr/local/bin/fetchmail.

It's just an example :) A common place for scripts that are only used by one user is in ~/bin. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
