I am trying to get a networked old HP printer to work. I have the
following printcap entries for it, using gs filtering:
# Entry for device ljet3 (output to ljet3.raw, I hope)
lp|ljet3|Ghostscript device ljet3:\
:lp=ljet3.raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/ljet3:\
:lf=/var/spool/output/ljet3/logfile:\
:af=/var/spool/output/ljet3/acct:\
:if=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/filt/indirect/ljet3/gsif:\
:mx#0:sf:sh:rs:
and
# Entry for raw device ljet3.raw
ljet3.raw|Raw output device ljet3:\
:lp=:\
:rm=192.168.2.1:\
:rp=LPT1:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/ljet3/raw:\
:mx#0:sf:sh:rs:
The ljet3.raw queue works perfectly! Of course, I have to send it
either ascii with CRLFs or PCL, but it does print what I send to it.
However, the lp|ljet3 filter does not send its output on to ljet3.raw.
I am sure that I am doing something (subtle?) wrong in this entry,
but I don't know enough to find it. Can someone either tell me
what's wrong or (better yet) point me to documentation that explains
how to do this correctly?
Thanks!
