Trouble with the raw device of lpr

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 5.2, 1st Edition

Symptom:

When calling

   lpr -Praw <file>
the binary information of the file <file> is output as ASCII.

Cause:

A fix for the remote printing leads to an erroneous behaviour of the filter scripts

/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/data
and
/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/raw

Solution:

If you don't want to print remotely, just change the line

        eval $DECOMPRESS $PRINT_PS
in /var/lib/apsfilter/filter/data (or /var/lib/apsfilter/filter/raw) to
        $DECOMPRESS cat -
If you want to (or have to) print remotely, please install ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/Ghostscript/aps-1.2.SuSE-1.i386.rpm as a replacement.
