[comp.sys.apollo] printing using LPR

martucci@cernvax.cern.ch (pietro paolo martucci) (06/13/90)

I have been trying to print on a Laser Writer connected to an Apollo
running under aegis environment SR9.7. I have been using the command LPR
and created an entry in /etc/printcap file specifying :
ed2lp:\
        :pc=/usr/apollo/bin/prf -banner off -text -pr lw -headers off -s //dded2 -pre10:\
        :lp=/dev/null:if=/usr/lib/lpf:of=/usr/lib/lpf:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ed2lp:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lpacct:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:hl=true:sf=true:
ed2ps:\
        :pc=/usr/apollo/bin/prf -banner off -trans -pr lw -headers off -s //dded2 -pre10:\
        :lp=/dev/null:if=/usr/lib/lpf:of=/usr/lib/lpf:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ed2ps:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lpacct:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:sh=true:sf=true:


It works fine for ed2lp when sending text files but if I try to print
poscript files on ed2ps I get the following :

ERROR IN POSTSCRIPT CODE FOR THIS PAGE :

The offending command if "t"
The PostScript error in "undefined"
The rest of this job will not be printed.

If I use the option "-POST on " of course it takes it as a text file.


Does anyone have had this problem? and if so How to solve it??
Send e-mail to me or to the newsgroup .
