[comp.unix.ultrix] LaserJet printers on Ultrix

sshurr@bambam.WELLESLEY.EDU (Scott Shurr) (02/16/90)

We recently installed some HP LaserJet II printers on our local network.
I discovered that there are no printer filters provided with Ultrix for
these printers (we're running 2.3 if it matters).  Does anyone know which,
if any, of the filters distributed with Ultrix I should use?  If none of
the distributed filters work, could anyone send me ones that will?
We'd like the printers to work for regular text, as well as with the -x
switch so we can print TeX output.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

I use the transparent filter, xf, with no problems.  I have even modified it
(since it is a very insignificant shell script) to reset the printer before 
printing, etc.  All in all it seems to work just fine.
