Does anyone have experiences working on Encore Annex II terminal server?
I have some questions with connecting the printer to the Annex II parallel
printer port. We have a Sun 3/280, we are using two Annex II as our terminal
server. Our printer is connected to one of the Annex II parallel printer
port. Obviously, I will not be able to use lpr on the Sun to print.
The question is :
How do I route the print job from the Sun to the Annex printer port
and have it printed? The Annex comes with a program called "aprint",
unfortunately aprint does not print out the header. I wonder if
any of you have encounter problems that are similar to this.
Please suggest a solutions. Thank you.

Create a small shell script that you install as an of filter in /etc/printcap. The script should start the real filter program and pipe its output to aprint. -- Robert Claeson |Reasonable mailers: rclaeson@erbe.se ERBE DATA AB | Dumb mailers: rclaeson%erbe.se@sunet.se | Perverse mailers: rclaeson%erbe.se@encore.com These opinions reflect my personal views and not those of my employer (ask him).
