yes.
Now look in the /etc/ifhp.conf file:
....
## The third entry (and rest of line) is the conversion program and
## options to use. As shown above, this can be an option whose
## value is expanded and substituted. For example:
##
## gs_converter= /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q
'-sOutputFile=|/bin/cat >&3' 3>&1 1>&2
## -sDEVICE=\%s{gs_device} \%s{gs_options} -
##
## Note: the above clever trick was used by the Foomatic (www.linuxprinting.org)
## but has been since spotted in the wild in other scripts.
##
## ps_converter= [ \%s{gs_converter} ]
You now should try the script below
#!/bin/sh
out=10.0.0.4%9100
out=/tmp/out
#debug=debug=4
file=/tmp/hi
file=/tmp/one.ps
#model=console@
#model=info=variables
model="gs_device=pxlmono"
cp /dev/null /tmp/out
ifhp=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
$ifhp -Tdev=$out,trace,$debug,$model <$file 2>&1 | tee /tmp/log
This will run the ifhp filter and tell you if the thing works.
If, say, the cannon is loose... I mean on a network connection, set:
out=IP.ADDR%PORT (i.e. 10.0.0.14%9100)
OR if it is on the parallel port,
out=/dev/lp0
and rerun the script. If you get output, you are happy.
Now edit the /etc/printcap file and set:
lp:
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=gs_device=pxlmono
:lp=/..... # i.e. the device you are using.
Enjoy!
