OK, this worked. Now there's just a couple of minor little issue left.
1. I have to send several copies of the printjob to the printer to get
it to print, and then it doesn't print the last page. I assume this is
because some sort of end-of-document control code is not being sent, and
therefore the printer has to wait until it's buffer is full before it
prints the page.
2. Printing from Mozilla produces a lot of control codes; I assume this
is because Mozilla assumes it's printing to a postscript printer.
I have magicfilter installed, and I suspect that if I could feed my
printjobs through it these issues would be fixed; however, I don't know
how to use magicfilter since the if in my printcap is taken by the
smbprint script.
Any help anyone?
