hi, I am trying to use a ps/2 with aix 1.2 and the remote print command. The remote printer is on a sun. And each time I print something from the ps/2, I get following mail back: | Your printer job (xxx) | could not be printed | | Messages from output filter: | psif: paris:mtranle sunset start Thu May 30 14:21:56 1991 | psif: end Thu May 30 14:25:56 1991 Does anyone knows how I can customize the output filter (wherever it is) so that it does not mail me anything unless there is something else between the 2 `psif:' lines. Thanks, Minh TranLe.

A related query: how do I tell AIX to expand tabs for a printer which doesn't support them? How to set the filter isn't obvious; I always end up manually typing "pr -e file | lp" and should probably make this automatic before I have zillions of users on the system. -rich

Try 'smit', "Devices", "Printer/Plotter Devices", "Printer/Plotter Devices", "Change/Show ...", and select the printer. Toggle the "EXPAND TABS ..." entry to true(yes). This should tell the queueing system backend to expand the tabs.
