this comes up over and over again. is there a printer FAQ?
anyway, heree it goes again:
my printcap:
ps|postscript emulation:\
:lp=/dev/lpa0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:if=/usr/libexec/lpr/ps2lj3:sh:mx#0:sf:
lp|epson|lj|local line printer:\
:lp=/dev/lpa0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:if=/usr/libexec/lpr/hpf:\
:sh:mx#0:pw#80:
my /usr/libexec/lpr/ps2lj3:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/gnu/bin/gs -dNOPAUSE -r300 -q -sDEVICE=ljet3 -sOutputFile=- -f -
source to my hp filter, installed as /usr/libexec/lpr/hpf:
#include "stdio.h"
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/file.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sgtty.h>
main(ac, av)
int ac;
char **av;
{
int c;
struct sgttyb nbuf;
unsigned long lbits;
setbuf(stdout, NULL);
lbits = LDECCTQ | LPASS8 | LLITOUT;
ioctl(fileno(stdout), TIOCLSET, &lbits);
ioctl(fileno(stdout), TIOCGETP, &nbuf);
nbuf.sg_flags &= ~(ECHO | XTABS | CRMOD);
ioctl(fileno(stdout), TIOCSETP, &nbuf);
fputs("\033E\033&k2G", stdout);
while (1) {
if ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
putchar(c);
} else {
break;
}
}
fputs("\033&l0H", stdout);
exit(0);
}
there's more, including a sun rasterfile filter, and an enscript replacement.
write me if you want them.
