I have 2  HPIIIsi printer setup running postscript, they are conected to a terminal 
server with one host managing a Queue.  There are 10 other hosts that LPD files to it.

I have a program that converts ascii printouts to postscript printouts that I want to
use it as a filter.   But it seams like as long as the printouts are being sent to a remote
system the filter is being ignored.  Does anyone know away around this problem?
