We have a color postscript printer that we have attached to a sgi 4/210. this printer is meant to be accessed by other workstations, so we wanted to use lpr and /etc/printcap instead of lp. We bought Transcript from sgi to do the whatever->postscript filtering for the printer, but this software assumes we are using lp not lpr. Then, too, since color prints are somewhat expensive, we wanted to use the accounting option in Transcript too. Can someone tell me a) how to make transcript work with lpr? or b) how to do remote printing from suns and irises to this printer using lp? or c) where to get some software that does whatever->postscript filtering and accounting for the iris and DOES run using lpr (if a) is not possible)? thanks Patricia Monger CIS McMaster University Hamilton, Ont, Canada
