Thanks for responding. I love this community forum stuff...
I must have badly phrased my first message. I'm think I'm sending people
off on tangents. At any rate...
I am unwilling to make the change suggested above because I've started
using ifhp in a production setting and some of the printers are using the
pcl_gs entry.
I suspect I've led you down a false path in that you are trying to fix a
problem I don't have (although I may be wrong and you are seeing a problem
I don't see). At any rate... (again).
The entry I submitted initially (and again above) works perfectly for both text
and postscript. I used the a2ps printer filter for text as a quick hack so I
did not have to worry about stair-stepping and final page eject. The alternative
file_output_match = [
*postscript* raw \%s{gs_unidriver}
*text* raw
*gzip_compressed* filter \%s{gzip_decompress}
]
worked but did not do a final page eject.
I posted my initial message because I was concerned others would run into the
problem I think I had (and I think I solved), and I would like to see the relevant
parts of the ifhp distribution changed.
Being new to all this, I was (and am) unsure that I know what I'm doing.
Befuddled and bemused (but thankful for the support)
Kent (parenthetically, that would be (kent :-))
