hi,
I have a strange problem - can't get a2ps filter to do the job!
I would like to filter ASCI files through the a2ps, to get
"pretty printing" of diverse source files: *.c, *.pl etc...
So, in ifhp.conf I do:
=====
default_language=text
forceconversion
## UNIX File utility path
file_util_path= /usr/local/bin/file \%s{inputfile}
## Patterns and Converters
# example conversion program
file_output_match = [
*postscript* ps \%s{ps_converter}
*pdf* ps \%s{pdf2ps_converter}
*pcl* pcl \%s{pcl_converter}
*pjl* pjl \%s{pjl_converter}
*printer*job*language* pjl
*text* ps \%s{text_converter}
*gzip_compressed* filter \%s{gzip_decompress}
* msg no_converter
]
...
...
a2ps_options= -q -B -1 -E -M \%M{papersize} --borders=no -o-
a2ps_converter= /usr/local/bin/a2ps \%s{a2ps_options} \%s{inputfile}
pdf2ps_converter= /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH
-dNOPAUSE -q '\-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3' 3>&1 1>&2 -sDEVICE=pswrite
\%{pdf2ps_options} -c save pop -\f \%s{inputfile}
ps_converter=
pcl_converter=
pjl_converter=
text_converter= \%s{a2ps_converter}
.....
===============
I send a simple test C-program, which is printed as raw PCL text!
The same program filtered manually through a2ps with the same parameters
to a2ps on printerserver machine gives desired output!
here is Filter-status output:
====

What is wrong?
