Wanted: print filters of ANY sort used for lpr. I'm in the process of writing my first filter and need some help. I thought I could model it after filters already in use. I want to check my work with those of other people to see if what I understand from reading the manual has been implemented correctly. It seems like the bare minimum you need to do is read from standard input and write to standard output. The manual mentioned about returning an exit code of 0, 1 and 2 and parameters which are passed to the filter which I wonder if I absolutely need to code for. btw, my printer: Apple LaserWriter Plus. Problem: Postscript files with long lines (those greater than 132 columns) are getting truncated. I need to be able to handle text(which I think I solved already) and bitmaps(which I'm fudging now in the code, (hey it works !!..so far ) Any help would be appreciated.
