Well, I have a solution but you will not like it. I think.
First, if I get this straight, you want to
a) send some PostScript at the start of each PostScript file
b) have this PostScript 'configured' for each user.
Suppose that we append the following to the ifhp.conf file:
[ hp5simx ]
tc=hp5simx
ps_bannerline=
20 dict begin
/bline true def
/user (\%s{n}) def
/job (\%s{J}) def
/file (\%s{f}) def
/host (\%s{H}) def
/date (\%s{D}) def
/printer (\s%{P}) def
%
% Bannerpage and bannerline postscript code
%
/mm { 25.4 div 72 mul } def
/ef1 /Helvetica findfont [9 0 0 6 0 0] makefont def
/ef2 /Courier findfont [9 0 0 6 0 0] makefont def
bline { %if
/mbline {
gsave
initgraphics
90 rotate
//ef1 setfont 32 //mm exec -8 //mm exec moveto (User: ) show
//ef2 setfont //user show
//ef1 setfont 112 //mm exec -8 //mm exec moveto (File: ) show
//ef2 setfont //file show
//ef1 setfont 192 //mm exec -8 //mm exec moveto (Date: ) show
//ef2 setfont //date show
//ef2 setfont 112 //mm exec -6 //mm exec moveto (Printed at ) show
//ef1 setfont (DIKU) show
grestore
} bind def
} { /mbline { } def } ifelse
<< /EndPage { 2 ne dup { //mbline exec } if exch pop } bind >> setpagedevice
end
ps_init+=[ bannerline ]
Now we use the same setup as before:
hplspb|spb|HP 5Si MX, SP12|HP Laser 5si MX SPB, SP12
:ab
:ae=/xxx/accounting/accounting.pl end
:af=accounting.log
:as=/xxx/accounting/accounting.pl start
:bp=/xxx/accounting/psbanner.pl
:fx=flpdv
:generate_banner
:if=/hawktmp/ifhp-3.3.17/src/ifhp -Tpjl@,status@,sync@,pagecount@,ps_eoj_at_start@
:ifhp=model=psbanner
:lp=spb%9100
:of=/hawktmp/ifhp-3.3.17/src/ifhp -Tstatus,sync@,pagecount,ps_eoj_at_start@
:ps=status
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:sh@
and the output is now (when you do 'lpr /tmp/test') is:
%-12345X@PJL
@PJL JOB NAME = "PID 9015" DISPLAY = "ThisName"
@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = "ThisName Job Name:Lp"
@PJL USTATUSOFF
@PJL USTATUS JOB = ON
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE = ON
@PJL USTATUS PAGE = ON
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 10
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT
%!
20 dict begin
/bline true def
/user (ThisName) def
/job (Job Name) def
/file (/tmp/test) def
/host (h4) def
/date (Thu Jul 13 13:45:51 PDT 2000) def
/printer (t1) def
%
% Bannerpage and bannerline postscript code
%
/mm { 25.4 div 72 mul } def
/ef1 /Helvetica findfont [9 0 0 6 0 0] makefont def
/ef2 /Courier findfont [9 0 0 6 0 0] makefont def
bline { %if
/mbline {
gsave
initgraphics
90 rotate
//ef1 setfont 32 //mm exec -8 //mm exec moveto (User: ) show
//ef2 setfont //user show
//ef1 setfont 112 //mm exec -8 //mm exec moveto (File: ) show
//ef2 setfont //file show
//ef1 setfont 192 //mm exec -8 //mm exec moveto (Date: ) show
//ef2 setfont //date show
//ef2 setfont 112 //mm exec -6 //mm exec moveto (Printed at ) show
//ef1 setfont (DIKU) show
grestore
} bind def
} { /mbline { } def } ifelse
<< /EndPage { 2 ne dup { //mbline exec } if exch pop } bind >> setpagedevice
end
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%% one page (i.e. - a page with a 1 on it)
%%/Times-Roman
/Courier
findfont 200 scalefont setfont
72 300 moveto
(1) show
showpage
%-12345X@PJL
@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = "ThisName Job Name:Lp"
@PJL EOJ NAME = "PID 9015"
@PJL USTATUSOFF
@PJL USTATUS JOB = ON
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE = ON
@PJL USTATUS PAGE = ON
@PJL USTATUS TIMED = 10
@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY = ""
%-12345X
This will print the 'bannerline' on each page.
Enjoy.
