I will be converting from 4.1 to 4.2 soon and have a Versatec
V-80. The manual says the lpr filters will drive a wide or
narrow versatec but it doesn't give much information beyond
that. It looks like the wide versatec is the default type of
versatec. In 4.1 I linked /dev/vp to /dev/va and used /usr/lib/vad
instead of /usr/lib/vpd to drive the V-80. This made it use the
versatec driver but also tricked it into thinking it was narrow
like a varian. Is this what other people do, or do you
rewrite some code, or am I missing something?
I would also like to see your printcap file to handle the V-80. Thanks.
