I don't know about a HOWTO, but basically you need to use a filter that routes the pdf file through pdf2ps; it can then be interpreted by whatever you use for other ps files (e.g., a postscript printer or a ghostscript filter).
My home setup (which is a non-postscript printer) uses magicfilter as the filtering system. The configuration file contains the following line: 0 %PDF fpipe /usr/local/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300 -s DEVICE=ljet2p -sOutputFile=- $FILE -c quit which sends pdf files through ghostscript and directly to the ljet2p device. magicfilterconfig can help you set it up. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 269 Hamilton Hall, CB#3210, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 USA On Mon, 22 Oct 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Is there a HOWTO or other guide on how to setup lpr/lpd to > be able to print PDF files? > > Robin > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
