Hello,
        I am currently trying to get an Apple printer to print text files.
lpr -P coyote file.ps will print.  When I run the text file through ifhp
and convert a text file to post script using the following command:

/mnt/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
-Tmodel=ps,dev=/tmp/output,ps_eoj_at_start@ < file.text

Then lpr -P coyote /tmp/output will print the file.  The printcap entry
fot the computer is as follows:

coyote
  :[EMAIL PROTECTED]
coyote:server:oh=turing.cs.hmc.edu
  :sd=/var/spool/LPRng/coyote
  :[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  :ifhp=model=ps,ps_eoj_at_start@
  :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp

        Does anyone know why the text files are printing?

Thank you,
