I'm trying to create a print queue for creating pdf documents using
Ghostscript.
My printcap file looks like:
lp
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
# server information
lp:server
:lp=192.168.1.6%9100
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:sh:mx=0
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=model=hp4000
pdf:
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pdf
:force_localhost
:lp=pdf@localhost
:ifhp=model=ghostscript,gs_device=pdfwrite
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
Testing it:
%lpr -P pdf config.ps
%lpq -P pdf
Printer: pdf@pablo (dest pdf@localhost)
Queue: 2 printable jobs
Server: pid 5777 active
Unspooler: pid 5934 active
Status: sending data file 'dfA916pablo.johnrshannon.com' to pdf@localhost at
09:02:39.594
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
active john@pablo+382 A 916 config.ps 209600
09:02:39
2 john@pablo+780 A 818 config.ps 209600
09:02:39
Error: loop in printcap- pdf???????s -> pablo.johnrshannon.com@pdf
I'm sure that I'm not the first to try this. Any recommendation?
