- Hey,
-
- we have a problem with our Postscript Printer, because we need
- to print a banner. We use DECstations 5120 running Ultrix V4.2.
- The problem is that the banner is in ASCII, I think,
- and the printer understands only postsctipt, so the printer
- hangs, when we print a normal postscript file with banner
- (lpr -Ppostprn1 <file>). Our /etc/printcap looks like this:
-
-
- postprn1|lp1:\
- :lp=/dev/null:\
- :lf=/usr/adm/post1err:\
- :of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/prtfilter:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/postprn1:
-
-
- Could somebody tell me, how I can print banners with a
- PostScript Printer ? Please mail me your informations.
-
-
- Thanks for your efforts,
-
- Oliver
