Hi Joel,
I think yur problen might be solved by the "file_output_match" section in
the lpd.conf. You can define it for every printertype:
file_output_match = [
*postscript* ps \%s{ps_converter}
*pdf* ps /usr/spool/filters/pdf
*pcl* pcl \%s{pcl_converter}
*pjl* pjl \%s{pjl_converter}
*printer*job*language* pjl
*text* ps /usr/spool/filters/ascii host=\%s{H} user=\%s{n} filename=\
%s{N} Z=\%s{Z} T=\%s{T}
*tex_dvi* ps /usr/local/bin/dvips -q -f
*gzip_compressed* filter \%s{gzip_decompress}
*msx_game_cartridge_dump* ps /usr/spool/filters/ascii host=\%s{H}
user=\%s {n} filename=\%s{N} Z=\%s{Z} T=\%s{T}
*pc_color_pointer* ps /usr/spool/filters/ascii host=\%s{H} user=\%s{n}
filename=\%s{N} Z=\%s{Z} T=\%s{T}
* msg no_converter
]
best regards

YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST
The address you post from MUST be your subscription address
If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests
or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body. For the impatient,
to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with: | example:
subscribe LIST <mailaddr> | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unsubscribe LIST <mailaddr> | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line.
