Hi all
We are in the process of porting a current (working) LPRNG configuration
from SUN to a HP (unix) system, and we have problems attaching (any) filter
to a printer. Different configurations have been tried, and it looks like
that the filter script at least is being look at, but that no data ( stdin )
is getting into the filter script, but ?
The following test is a basic ip/socket printer with a simple filter script.
With "no filter" the printer works fine, but with the filter the printer
fails.
Any input/suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thanks
