This is my first time to set up a printer in Linux. I have the printer daemon running and files can be printed with lpr. The printer at present is a Tandy dot matrix that is working in the ibm compatible mode. I have put a filter in place for the stair step effect on the printer but I am unsure what to put in the filter and it is not having the desired effect. If someone knows what I need in this filter or another way about this it would be appreciated.
the second problem is getting my Sun workstation to pass files to print to the Linux machine. I have defined a remote printer for the sun and the files appear to go to the Linux machine but are not printed. I have copied my /etc/hosts file to /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/hosts/lpd if that is all that is needed to enable network printing I will work on it from the Sun machines end. Thank you for your patience with this newbie question. Ron Mathis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
