No, it is rather subtle. You have a 'phaser' printer, which requires
that IFHP open and close the connection to the printer (i.e. - 'appsocket'
behaviour). This is done by the
:ifhp=model=phaser740,dev=h01cp1%9100,waitend@,pagecount@:\
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You need to
a) disable filtering
b) do redirect.
The 'cheating' method is edit the printcap entry:
:NO_of=/usr/spool/ifhp/libexec/filters/ifhp:\
:ifhp=model=phaser740,dev=h01cp1%9100,waitend@,pagecount@:\
:NO_filter=/usr/spool/ifhp/libexec/filters/ifhp -Ttransparency:\
