[comp.os.vms] GatePost1.7

ziggy+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (John Salmento) (02/12/88)

Hi,

   I am trying to run GatePost1.7 on our sun3.   The files print fine, but the 
sun3 doesn't remove any of the jobs from the queue.  I have to manually remove 
the jobs and then kill the print daemons.  Were using transcript filters on 
the sun3.  I set GatePost to 8 bits, no parity, 9600 baud, and 1 stop bit.  I 
am 
using the following printcap entry.


# PostScript printer driven by TranScript software

ap|ps|postscript|PostScript:\\

	:lp=/dev/ap:\\

	:br#9600:rw:fc#0000374:fs#0000003:xc#0:xs#0040040:mx#0:sf:sb:\\

	:if=/usr/local/lib/ps/psif:\\

	:of=/usr/local/lib/ps/psof:\\

	:gf=/usr/local/lib/ps/psgf:\\

	:tf=/usr/local/lib/ps/pstf:\\

	:nf=/usr/local/lib/ps/psnf:\\

	:sd=/usr/spool/ap:\\

	:lf=/usr/adm/ap-log:\\

	:af=/usr/adm/ap.acct:


I would appreciate any suggestions to solve my problems.  If I could get 
GatePost to work properly, or
more likely, if I can get our printing software to work properly, get post 
would be a great program.  I'm not
downgrading GatePost, I'm just a very frustrated user.

Also so suggestions to Paul Menon, the author , can you make it run in 
background in multifinder, 
and is there a way to preset the default settings and have it automatically 
start running when you launch the 
application.  

Thanks a lot,
