Hi
I have narrowed my printing problem down to the fact that on boot the
/dev/printer device is not being created. If I remove generate a
simple printcap using apsfilter or magicfilter for a local printer it
works fine. However if I try and chain apsfilter to a Novell remote
printer it doesnt create the /dev/printer when I reboot. Strangely it
works OK until I do reboot. Does anyone know the correct way to link a
Novell printer to a Linux print filter, I followed the ipx howto etc
and this is my printcap using apsfilter :-
