Hi All!
Sorry if there're stupid questions...
I'm trying to make LPRng-3.6.24 & ifhp-3.3.21 working with HP LJ 4m+
with JetDirect card.
# grep -v '^#' lpd.conf printcap
lpd.conf:
lpd.conf:force_localhost@
lpd.conf:create_files 1
lpd.conf:filter=/opt/LPRng/libexec/filters/ifhp
lpd.conf:max_log_file_size=100
lpd.conf:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
lpd.conf:send_data_first
printcap:
printcap:lp213:
printcap: :lp=lp213%9100:
printcap:
Everything looks workable, but printing begins with ~30 sec delay
after sending job to lp. There's no such delay if i configure to send
job via LPD (lp=pr@lp213) but no filter is used and no any info is
putten into log files in that case.
I've tryed to upgrade printer firmware (now it is A.08.32) - no
result. Printserver model is JD 2552B.
There's a log of small job sending:

Question is: is there a way to speed up printing to port 9100?
And it would be useful to enable filtering when printing via LPD in
future because not all of our printers would print with non-LPD
interface.
And one more question: i need to download a dozen of _postscript_
fonts before every PS job. How can i do that?
I've put next lines into ifhp.conf file:
ps_fontdir=/opt/LPRng/libexec/filters/fonts/ps
font_download=courb.pfa courbo.pfa couro.pfa courr.pfa helvb.pfa helvbo.pfa helvo.pfa
helvr.pfa iso.enc lusb.pfa lusbo.pfa luso.pfa
ps_font=[ font_download ]
Looks like filter simply ignores that descriptions.
I've tryed to set 'fontdownload' variable to list of font files, i've
also tryed to put line ps_init=[ ... font ... ] - that makes some
strange result, but i don't want to put the same PS & PCL fonts into
printer and it's not clear for me how 'font' is expanded. Ah sorry, i
know that i need to read all documentation... lazy. ;-)
Thanks in advance,
