Hi Patrick,
I looked through the file ifhp-3.5.6/HOWTO/IFHP-HOWTO.html , and I
found some oddities:
Section 4.3, 4th paragraph:
"If you are using the LPRng print spooler, job transfers using
RFC1179 is specified by using :lp=spoolqueue@host
or :rp=spoolqueue:rh=host"
^^
Should be rm ?
Same section: "Unfortunately, some print spooling systems also use
the v format by default. You may find the following printcap entry
useful in this case. The :filter option specifies a default filter
that is used if one is not specified for the format."
The printcap entry that follows is AFAICS identical to the previous
"raw" entry. Is this intended?
Section 4.7, printcap with bounce queue. Should the "raw" entry
be named "real", to correspond with the :lp=real@localhost entry?
Section 4.11, say again? :
"If your printer requires a Control-D at the end of the job but
fails when they occur at the start of the job, set ps_eoj_at_start@.
If the printer requires a Control-D at the start but not at the end,
set ps_eoj_at_start@."
Section 5.7: Shouldn't the value 5 be passed somehow:
"Similarly, the lpr -Zfuzzy=5 option will cause the PostScript command
<</Fuzzy (\%s{fuzzy})>> setpagedevice to be sent to the printer."
Section 9.2: When cut and paste goes bad?
ps_init=[ ... font ... ]
pcl_font=[ font_download ]
I guess these are typos, or maybe I'm just confused....
Finally, the main pain about installing ifhp at our site is the paper
handling, which seems to default to "letter", we europeans prefer a4.
Also, the ps_fontdir etc. that make inserts in ifhp.conf is not correct,
I have to edit this by hand. What about a configure option to specify
default paper and font directories?
