[comp.protocols.appletalk] problems with CAP iwpr and isrv

alaerts@exco.ucl.ac.be (alaerts, Patrick Alaerts) (11/26/90)

I'm trying to use CAP iwpr and isrv programs to spool the printouts of Mac users
 on a LocalTalk ImageWriter. It almost work, but the first few bytes of each
 printout are lost (the beginning of the printout is missing).
 
Can anyone help?
 
My setup is as follow:
isrv is configured to print via lpr to a "fake" entry in /etc/printcap. In this
 entry, the input filter (if) is a shell script which does the actual printing:
 it call iwpr with the AppleTalk adress of the ImageWriter.
