That should be no problem. If I read the specifications for the Xerox Phaser 6280V DN correctly, it supports both PS and PCL. Here's an example for a PCL printer filter: #!/bin/sh printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2 gs -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER -dSAFER -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -r600x600 \ -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- - && exit 0 exit 2 The "ljet4" produces PCL, it can also be used to access features like duplexer (add -dDuplex=true). It basically does the same as the apsfilter filter, except that the apsfilter one has support for "pretty printing" and direct command line printing, so % lpr foo.c or % lpr bar.png can be issued directly, no need to create a PS stream by another application. You can easily add that filter to /etc/printcap's if= setting, add rm= with the IP or hostname of the printer, prepare the spool and it should work. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
