[comp.sys.apollo] Postscript/remote printing

obrennan@CC3.CC.UMR.EDU (obrennan) (12/14/90)

Patch M0160 appears to have fixed the problem I had with files being partially
printed when going through lpd/printcap using PC: PRF ... in the printcap. So, if
any of you experience files only partially printing, then try applying patch M0160.

We now have a working Remote Postscript printer that can be accessed from remote machines
using LPR (using the Apollo Print server as the driver so that the Apollo users can
send ASCII, bitmaps, Postscript, etc. to the printer). We have only written the 
BSD filter such that it appends a Postscript banner page, so remote print users can
only send Postscript to the printer.
