Re: Advice printing on a network Laserjet 4L (fwd)
Hi Guys, Here's what I use for printing to a network HP 4L. The lp printer in /etc/printcap processes jobs with the script remote-filter. This filter just uses the ljet4-filter from the magicfilter package and pipes the output to lpr printing to printer lp-r. Files printed to lp-r go directly to jetd, the jetdirect adapter that attaches the 4L to the network. The jetdirect normally supports win95 directly, but not when running lpd. Therefore I use samba to make the lp-r printer available to win95 users. win95 knows the capabilities of the printer, so it doesn't need to be filtered. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions let know.

Advice printing on a network Laserjet 4L
I have read all the man pages and HOWTO but I still have a problem printing on a novel network laserjet. I have finally found a way to print postscript documents but I cannot print plain text or dvi format. Any ideas? // Daniel J.

Any ideas? text: some printers (e.g. hplj6) see ascii as 'dos ascii': they need cr/lf instead of lf at the end of each line. So simply add the cr. dvi: use dvips to convert dvi to ps. // Daniel J.

Well, if you can print postscript, you can
- use a2ps (from contrib/non-free in bo, or hamm main), or
genscript/enscript to convert ascii to postscript
(though most printers I know do accept straight ascii too)
- use dvips (included in Debian's TeX packages) to convert
dvi to ps.

HI! I have read all the man pages and HOWTO but I still have a problem printing on a novel network laserjet. I have finally found a way to print postscript documents but I cannot print plain text or dvi format. Any ideas? Convert anything you want to print to PostScript first, then send it to the printer. Magicfilter does this for me. feri. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Since your remote system is the printer itself, there's nowhere to specify an input filter (e.g., magicfilter) that will get used. You are right and that is exacly my problem. There is a kludge around this, but I don't remember offhand what it is. The HOW-TO says one has to redirect the output since if= is not used on remote printers. I tried their suggested work-around and it only works on Postscript files. By the way I have a postscript printer that is also remote and it works fine without any filters. That is it works for both text and postscipt documents. I am having a problem with a PCL laserjet that is closer to my office. I think for now I will just use enscript and a2ps first on my files. but if anyone comes with a neat idea - I am all ears. // Daniel J.
