I need to find some low cost ( prefer public domain) communication
filters to run from /etc/printcap and talk to a serial postscript printer.
The filters supplied with Transcript would do the trick but I don't
want to buy Transcript as I also need Documentors Workbench and
Transcript does not come with this.
Solution should
1. communicate printer status back to lpd so out of paper, etc showes
with a "lpq" commands.
2. provide job sync so only one job is downloaded to the printer
at a time.
3. provide a way for OUTPUT from printer to be logged to a file
back on the host.
4. Put postscript wrapper around plain text queued to printer
We are running SunOS 4.03 and have serial NEC Postscript printers.
Any help appreciated, please e-mail me and I will summerize to
comp.periphs.printers if there is enough interest.
