I have a 2070 at work and a 5250 at home where I use > OpenBSD. AFAIK the 2070 is PCL6 only (I only use it with Windows). I thought I would mention that I now have a theory about how I can fix this problem. I took a look again at the APSFilter generated printcap entries, and I believe I've located a problem in the way it operates. :-) In order to send the printer the right format of file, it relies on the `if' field, which is only used for rm == localhost or lp being used instead. I haven't had a chance to test this hypothesis yet, so I'll provide some more feedback when I do, but this might be a good thing to keep in mind when adding printers that are based on the networks. Is there a way to define a filter for a remote printer? I plan to test my ideas by raw dumping the output of a PCL file (which I know the 2070n can read) to the printer using netcat. I'll report back when I have results. -- ((name "Aaron Hsu") (email/xmpp "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (phone "703-597-7656") (site "http://www.aaronhsu.com";))
