That readme suggests an example script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/a2ps -BRq --columns=1 -o - | \
/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip -P samsung-ml2850d
But I found that a2ps gives terrible output.
I substituted encript and got perfect results for text files and PDF's
both portrait and landscape including with images.
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/enscript -Bhq --columns=1 --pass-through -o - | \
/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip -P lp --ppd
/home/chris/BCFiles/mfp1815ps.ppd
Might be best to change example script in readme?
