I'm running SysVR4 on Intel 486 workstations.
We have some remote SunOS/Ultrix PostScript printers which I need
to configure into the spooling system.
I followed the instructions in the Advanced System Management Guide
and configured one logical printer as
lpadmin -p ps1 -s remote!ps -T PS -I PS
and another as
lpadmin -p ps2 -s remote!ps -I PS,troff,simple
and another as
lpadmin -p ps3 -s remote!ps
Now I want to print a manual page, I guess by
troff -man mpage.1 | lp -d printer -T troff
If printer is ps1 or ps3 I'm told nothing but it doesn't print.
If printer is ps2 I'm told there is no filter.
If I rip out the troff->postscript filter dpost and run
troff -man mpage.1 | dpost | lp -d printer
with ps1 or ps3 everything works fine. I forget what happened if
printer is ps2.
Is a remote PostScript printer a PostScript printer type or an unknown
printer type, or something else.
Any suggestions?
