I'm having problems printing plain text to a remote postscript
printer... Here is my printcap entry:
myprinter|HP LaserJet 4000TN in room E52-242:\
:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/myprinter:\
:rm=myprinter.mit.edu:\
:rp=raw:
:if=/etc/magicfilter/psonly600-filter:\
It seems that /etc/magicfilter/psonly600-filter is never executed and this
is the cause of my problems. If I run the filter manually at the command
line ex. "./psonly600-filter < text.txt", I get postscript
output. However "lpr -Pmyprinter text.txt" sends plain text to the
printer, giving the "staircase effect".
The system is running Debian 2.2r2. Anyone know why the filter is not
running as it should?
thanks...
