Hi,

I am trying to use HP4M printer connected to ethernet network with
JetDirect card. I want to print on it from BSD/OS 2.0 PCs by
configuring /etc/printcap :

aglae|ps|lp|PostScript|hplj:\
	:lp=:rm=aglae.francenet.fr:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
	:sh:mx#0:rp=text:\
	:if=/usr/contrib/lib/lprps/psif:\
	:of=/usr/contrib/lib/lprps/psof:\
	:df=/usr/libexec/lpr/dvi2jep-filter:\
	:vf=/usr/libexec/lpr/ps2jep-filter:

I want to have a unique spool for text and postscript files and that's
why I'm using the input filter provided by BSDI. However, I can't print 
Postscript files and instead, I get a print with the message :

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: &k2G

STACK: 

I have the same error message with HP LaserJet II filters.

Any idea about this problem ?
BTW, how can I avoid the long lines cutting ?

Thanks in advance.

Gildas.
