I'm printing to an HPLJ2100 printer hanging off an NT box; therefore I'm
having to print to it via samba. The only way I've gotten this to work
is to modify my /etc/printcap so that the if= line points to a smbprint
script.
This works fine, except that it removes magicfilter from the equation.
From what I can tell about bounce queues, they allow you to send your
printjobs through two different queues, one after the other. The first
one can do one type of processing; the second can do another. I would
assume this means I could run my printjob through magicfilter, and then
through the smbprint script to actually send the job to the remote printer.
However, I haven't been able to comprehend how to set up the bounce
queue. Here's my /etc/printcap:
lp|hplj2100|HP LaserJet 2100:\
:cm=Karen's HP LaserJet 2100:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj2100:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/bin/smbprint:\
# :if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/hplj2100/lp-acct:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
Also, assuming I can get this to work, anyone know what's the best
magicfilter (ljet4-filter, etc) to use for an HP LJ 2100?
Thanks!
Kent
