If I have a file containing printer specific code (PJL) when I pint the
file thru ifhp the file is never printed. However if I print the same
file and bypass ifhp by using -Praw@printer the file is printed.
According to the logs 'job is PJL and PJL not supported' is there any way
to tell ifhp to send this file to the printer.

I don't think it is a problem with ifhp.conf. When I cat a man page to
a2ps -q -B -1 -M Letter --borders=no -o- and rediect the output to a file
I get the the troff file wrapped in postscript. Other than psutils, is
there anything that a2ps needs to function correctly? Both the compiled
version and the pre-build version from sunfreeware work the same way.

I totally agree.
