I have been pondering the relationship between the Staroffice printing engine
and the Unix (foomatic ) Spooler .
As we plug PPD's into StarOffice ( spadmin) I assume it produces
Postscript output.
when I set up a foomatic LP printer with print manager it sets the printer
content type to postscript. but does not set the Terminfo type to PS.
So appearantly StarOffice does the right thing producing postscript
output
to a printer queue expecting postscript input.
But what if we have a non postscript printqueue set up with just the
netstandard
interface script , connected to a postscript capable printer.
I assume I should then manually set the :
# lpadmin -p prname -I postscript -T PS
on the printer to prevent the "catv" filter being run.
# lpfilter -l -f catv
Is there anyway the foomatic stuff can harm the Postscript
output that comes from StarOffice ?
Is StarOffice better off without foomatic ?
