Message-ID: <CzyBy5.LE1@latcs1.lat.oz.au> From: wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C. Wong) Date: Mon, 28 Nov 1994 00:27:41 GMT Organization: Comp Sci, La Trobe Uni, Australia Lines: 22 Hi, Under 1.1.5.1 and 1.1, I have been tying to get lpr to print postscript files using apsfilter, but everytime, I got the jobs queued, and the spawned lpd coredump, as I can find a copy of lpd.core in the spool directory evertime I rm it and try again. The printer I use is HP Laserjet4L. When printing ascii file it is fine, haven't tried DVI and other files. Remote printing also works for ascii file only. I used lpr -v , and set up /etc/printcap to have if=/usr/local/bin/apsfilter etc. Also, I have to changes apsfilter script to use #!/usr/gnu/bin/bash to get correct echo -e behaviour, otherwise, /bin/echo and echo in tcsh doesn't do so! Any idea appreciated, many thanks in advance. -- - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C Wong) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Just an enthusiastic and curious learner of computing technology.
