You need to run it thru a filter such as magicfilter or apsfilter.
Your /etc/printcap file will direct the ps file if you have it set
correctly. For example, here is my printcap file:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:sh:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL epson 180x180 letter {} Epson24 Default {}
epson:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ps:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/ps/apsfilter-1.11:
I used printtool from the RedHat distribution to set it up.
My $PRINTER is set to epson so that I do not have to add parameters
to my lpr command line but it's the same as lpr -P epson.
