I am trying to set up a "virtual" printer for when print jobs are sent
to, it takes that job and runs a script to add some custom headers and
convert it to postscript, then forwards this job to be printed out on a
different printer. My printcap entry looks like this:
lineprinter:\
:lp=frenv52%9100:\
:filter=/export/Spool/lprng/libexec/filters/lineprinter/lineprinter.scr:\
:sd=/export/Spool/lprng/spool/lpd/%P:\
:af=/export/Spool/lprng/spool/lpd/%P/acct:\
:lf=/export/Spool/lprng/spool/lpd/%P/log:\
frenv52:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:ifhp=model=hp5000, dev=frenv52%9100,appsocket:\
:filter=/export/Spool/lprng/libexec/filters/ifhp:\
:sd=/export/Spool/lprng/spool/lpd/%P:\
Where lineprinter is the "virtual" printer (that is, it doesn't
physically exist) that takes a job, runs the lineprinter.scr script that
creates a postscript document and sends it to the actual printer,
frenv52.
When I send this print job, it does create the postscript file but
doesn't actually print. I run a 'snoop' from the print server to the
actual printer (frenv52) and see network traffic going to it, so it
looks like it works, except that nothing gets printed out.
If anyone has suggestions, I would greatly appreaciate it. Thanks.
