- Hi all
-
- I am having lots of problems getting a TCP/IP connected laser
- printer to work correctly. The printer seems to concatenate print jobs.
- The supplier sugested putting some sort of time delay between print jobs.
-
- I have tried this using an input filter. The following is the entry in my
- printcap file :
- ------------
- newgen|lp:\
- :if=/usr/local/bin/ng-if:\
- :vf=/usr/local/bin/ng-if:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/newgen:\
- :lf=/usr/spool/newgen/newgen.log:\
- :lp=:\
- :rm=newgen:rp=turbops:\
- :mx#0:\
- :sh:\
- :rw:
- -------------
- The problem is that the filter (ng-if) never gets executed !
-
- Is this because filters are ignored for remote printers ?
-
- Thanx for any help.
-
- Regards
-
