The foo2qpdl-wrapper program seems to support that fine. > Once you have that working maybe you can manually add the printer in > cups using lpd. Maybe? For sure! It's quite easy to do it (make entry in /etc/printcap, create spool directories, write printer filter one-liner "foo2qpdl-wrapper -p 2 -c" which is the essential part). I just hope printing will be possible from applications (Opera, OpenOffice and Gimp are the primary candidates) afterwards. You know, many "modern" programs _expect_ CUPS to be present, some have hardcoded "calls" to CUPS programs, some seem to even _not_ output PS (which should be standard), but instead PCL or whatnot. > JIC you haven't considered this yet... HIH :) Considered - yes, but I thought I would be able to avoid it and use the "modern" CUPS toolkit for something simple like printing. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
