Dear All,
I have been thinking about writing a very basic, bodgey sort of filter (in
perl probably) to tweak postscript files going to a Canon CLC1100 (colour).
(Canon don't officially support linux, naturally.)
I wrote a VERY basic thing (perl equiv. of `cat -`) as a first step, and was
absolutely dumb-founded to find that what came out the other end was the
*log* *file* for the job, rather than the job itself!!! I am completely
confused. Can anyone explain to me how or why this happened??
Here's my set-up:
printcap :-
prcol
:cm=Canon Colour - CLC1100/PS-NX600
:lp=hold@prcolour
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/prcol
:rw:sh:af=log:ar:lf=log:ps=status:mx#0:fx=flpv
:create_files:max_log_file_size#0
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/tst
The printer has two main queues: 'hold' and 'print'. 'hold' saves paper.
/usr/local/libexec/filters/tst :-
#! /usr/bin/perl
# This should be equiv to `tee /tmp/log`
open (LL,">/tmp/filt_log");
while (<>) {
print LL $_;
print;
}
close (LL);
Thanks for any help
Glen
