- If you don't have of= specified you need of=xf
- which then uses /bin/cat as the output filter.
-
- If you dont have an of= then lpd restarts the plot after
- a minute if it has not completed. It is documented in
- the notes for 4.2
-
- We had the same problem when trying to send to a dumb
- printer that needed no special filters and files of more
- than a few pages would keep restarting.
-
- The only problem we have now (even with of=xf) is that
- the filter sometimes gets stuck after printing the banner
- page. Killing the filter allows the printing to continue..
