- Hi netters,
- I have soon to install a Nec P5 XL as printer for a Dec 5000/240
- (Ultrix 4.3) DecServer250 combination on the parallel interface.
-
- Because I am only used to HP workstations, I have no exact idea what
- to put in the /etc/printcap entry, especially in the filter fields
- (the 240 only provides entrys for Dec printers in
- /usr/lib/lpdfilters). I looked up the sample printcap entries at
- gatekeeper.dec.com, as proposed in the ultrix-FAQ, but there are only
- two entries, both regarding HP LaserJets.
-
- Could anybody out there share his printcap entry or any other
- experiences he has made with this combination?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-
- Many Thanks in advance, Josef
