  19. This is  similar  to  a problem that I've  been  working  on getting a
  20. remote  IBM  4029/PS  (sitting on a Novell  LAN) set up with a filter.
  21. Unfortuntately, since  the  printer is  remote,  the  "if="  directive
  22. containing the  filter I wrote to convert to PostScript (if necessary)
  23. is being ignored.
  24.  
  25. Anyone encounter this problem  with a  *remote*  printer?  Any way  to
  26. force lpd to run the filter *before* forwarding the print job?
