I'm having some problems installing LPRng, system details given below.
Without using filters I have got plain ASCII text to print correctly on
both printers in the system (an LQ300 dot-matrix and a Stylus Color
800), but found it necessary to add the fq' entry in the prntcap for
both to get an end-of-document form feed.
On adding the filter, the Stylus renders the document text correctly but
refuses to add the form feed (I have not added the filter to the LQ as
it seems worthless on such a printer).
I'm sure this is a configuration issue but all my attempts have failed
and I've now run out of ideas.
System
Definite Linux & (RH 6.1 clone) upgraded to 2.2.17 kernel
LPRng 3.6.26 built from tarball
ifhp 3.4.1 built from source rpm
a2ps 4.13b built from tarball
psutils 1.17 built from tarball
Printcap
sc800|st800 on server localhost
:server:fq:ff_separator:direct_read:mx#0:ps=status
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/sc800
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:of=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=stc800.upp=ghostscript,gs_device=gs_uniprint
lq300
:server:fq:ff_separator:direct_read:mx#0:ps=status
:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lq300
The of entry was added in desperation but seems to have had no effect. I
have tried all ifhp device entries applicable to the Stylus color 800
except the 1440 dpi version.
