The environment... I'm a Unix novice. We are running a Mentor Graphics system running their version of Unix (4.3BSD?). The machine is connected to an ethernet AND to a QMS 2210 PostScript laser printer. The goal... To be able access the QMS from the network, preferably through filters on the MG stn. We'd like to be able to select paper size (A or B), PostScript, HPGL, or plain text, etc. What little I think I understand... I think I need to figure out how to fire up several LPD daemons, one for each required filter. The LPDs need to point to point to the que directory that the spooler slurps files out of. Please reply to... Oz@SwRI.edu If you want a summary, drop me a note with a valid return address in the body of the message. This is important because the return address I see is often mutilated beyond recognition and reason. Please make the Subject read "LPD Summary Request" to make my life easier for filing and responding.
