hi bon
Asumming your printer is hooked up to WinNT parallel port /dev/lp0 ( LPT1 )
/etc/printcap
lp0|hp5si|HP LaserJet 5si:\
:lp=:\
:rp=lp0:\
:rm=hp5si.your_domain.com:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/log:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
filtering (:if:..) locally for a remote printer ( :rm:... ) does not do
anything...
( do it on the command line )
linux# kill -HUP `pidof lpd`
linux# ping hp5si
linux# lpr -Plp0 /etc/printcap
linux# cat /etc/printcap | stair_step_filter | lpr -Plp0
linux# /usr/bin/nenscript -p- /etc/printcap | lpr -Plp0
linux# lpr -Pcolor_printer /usr/local/share/ghostscript/5.10/examples/tiger.ps
linux# lpc status - should list your printers
linux# lpq -Plp0
linux# lprm -Plp0 <job_id>
- your filters should take care of stairstepping between linux and WinNT
- watch out for files/directories not owned by lp when it is needed to be...
have fun
