I have a problem setting up a filter for a HP4si (and HP3si) printer
for printing simple ascii files.

I know that I can use a2ps to convert the ascii file to postscript and
then send it... but I would like to be able to use simple text editors
to send it and have the filter applied automatically.

Advise please... with some examples.


Thanks in advance.


Andrew.
