Hi,
I have been trying to print ps files on an NT networked machine using RH
printtols, havent been succesful yet.
heres the /etc/printcap
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:
where the ps file is passed through the filter
/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter which actually passes the file through specific
filters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the script "filter" defines a variable as
FPDIR=/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/
followed by an if elif..
if [ "$PRINTER_TYPE" = "SMB" ]; then
bestpath="$bestpath" | ${FPDIR}smbprint ...
at the end the final command is called as
eval $bestpath 2>/dev/null
This is clearly a bug as this will expand to
...../usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//smbprint
----------------------------------------------------------------
so far its ok. I corrected the above. But still no success with the
original intent of printing to an NT printer.
Apart fromn that could anyone confirm the bug, i looked up red hat
errata it hasnt been reported there
if you are still here ( the mail was long ;)
TIA
