- We are running MG 7.0 (?) and my users want to do remote printing.
- There is a Postscript Printer on the network and printing via bsd style
- lpr works.
-
- Now, has there some Mentor software to be installed too to allow
- postscript printing?
-
- I have a line in /sys/print/p_config.data "device_driver lpr".
- But when we do e.g. a
-
- plot 0.0 a postscript
-
- or a screen plot we only get files in /sys/print which are named
- postscript.something.hardcopy or the like but do not contain
- any postscript data. They contain binary data instead.
