[comp.unix.ultrix] LN03R printcap entry

h1c5962@falcon.tamu.edu (H. Lee Cox) (01/06/91)

We recently upgraded two of our LN03 printers to print PostSctipt.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get them to print from our
Ultrix systems.  I've attempted to make an entry in /etc/printcap
for one of them and lpq says the printer is "ready and printing via
lat", but nothing comes out of the printer.  Sometimes, I get a message
in the error file to the effect of "output filter malfunction", but my
latest attempts do not even produce that.  I've tried RTFM, but it still
doesn't work.  If anyone has any pointers as to where I should look next,
or better yet, a working printcap entry for an LN03R printer on an
Ultrix 4.0 system, please let me know.
