- According to the lwsrv documentation:
-
- An alternative to editing the procset files is to make lwsrv
- preprend the following PostScript code that executes the two
- "files" (e.g. stream with 2 eofs) as a single job by running lwsrv
- with the "-e" option (e for eexec may be inline):
- 2 {(%stdin) (r) file cvx exec} repeat
- in front of the job and puts end of file ("%%EOF") after the prologue
- code. This makes two assumptions:
- (a) you are using papif without the EOF code turned off
- (default is off under the NO_STRUCT conditional)
- or you are using another spooler that handles it
- (b) You are running without ADOBE_DSC_CONFORMANT turned on.
- At the present time we don't recommend doing this.
-
- I am *not* issuing the "-e" flag and yet there is several sections of
- postscript at the top of the file to be printed that my unix system
- (or the HP printer) does not like.
-
- At the beginning of the file in the unix print queue are three sections
- that when edit'ed out allow the file to be printed fine. It looks like
- the "inline eexec" that is referenced above.
-
- The sections begin:
-
- %!PS-Adobe-2.0 Query (and then there is and EOF)
-
- %!PS-Adobe-2.0 ExitServer (then what looks like printer control, and a EOF)
-
- and then another
- %!PS-Adobe-2.0 Query (and EOF)
-
- then the postscript to be printed
-
- Does anyone know how to get rid of these sections or what I need to do
- (other flags with which to start lwsrv) to get this to work?
-
- I have sun IPX running CAP 6.0 and it is passing the print job off to
- another sun 2 that has an HP LaserJet III (w/ postscript) hanging off
- it. My mac (IIci) is running system 7.0.1 and is on the same ethernet
- as the IPX.
-
- I have started lwsrv so far with the following command:
-
- lwsrv -n "HP III" -p lp -a proc -f LWPlusFonts -T crtolf -l /tmp/lwsrv.log -N
-
- Thanks in advance for any advice...
