Thanks for the help, but still not working. I've added the lpr_bounce stuff to the printcap and it seems that the filter is being run, but no conversion is taking place. For plain text files, the control codes in the dj550c-filter that should be used somewhere along the line are being printed as characters instead of being interpreted by the filter or printer. For graphics, it seems again that the filter is not being interpreted correctly. There must be a switch or configuration parameter somewhere for either lpr or lpd to fix the problem. Still trying but I have better luck with lpr than with lprng using remote printers and filtering.
thanks, -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED]
