OK, now I'm very confused. -Z options don't seem to work at all.
The following command prints jobs to transparency media:
lpr -Pn114rgb_t /u/carter/test.ps
where the client printcap entry is:
n114rgb_transparency|n114rgb_t
:cm=Tek Phaser 550 in server room (transparency media tray)
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote/misc
:lp=n114rgb_transparency@tattoo
and the server printcap entries are:
n114rgb_transparency|n114rgb_t
:cm=Tek Phaser 550 in server room (transparency media tray)
:if=/packages/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=model=phaser,appsocket@,transparency
:lp=n114rgb@tattoo
:lpd_bounce
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ip/n114rgb_transparency
n114rgb
:cm=Tek Phaser 550 in server room
:if=/packages/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=model=phaser,dev=128.165.69.14%9100
:lp=/dev/null
:mx=0
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ip/n114rgb
:sh
BUT, the following prints on paper instead of transparency:
lpr -Pn114rgb -Ztransparency /u/carter/test.ps
where the client printcap entry is:
n114rgb
:cm=Tek Phaser 550 in server room
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote/misc
:lp=n114rgb@tattoo
and the server printcap entry is listed above.
Why does using a lpd_bounce queue with ifhp doing the transparency filtering
behave differently than sending a -Ztransparency option to the "regular"
queue?
I'm using LPRng-3.6.22 and ifhp-3.3.19 with the default ifhp.conf file.
Note that this problem exists w/ output tray selection on my HP LJ8000 as
well, i.e. filtering via a bounce queue works, but -Z options don't.
Thanks for any advice,
