I have a problem with intermediate ifhp files not getting removed from a
printer spool directory.
LPRng 3.8.21 and ifhp 3.5.10 are installed on a Solaris 9 system with
GNU Ghostscript 6.52. I'm printing to an HP5Si on a JetDirect card. The
printcap entry looks like this:
.ifhp:
:sf:
:mx=0:
:if=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp:
# HP5Si in HS 149
hs149:
:cm=HP HP5Si in HS 149
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lpd_bounce
:force_localhost
:rm=10.32.5.61
:rp=text
:tc=.ifhp
:ifhp=model=lj3.gs
:sh
Printing a Postscript file causes ifhp to invoke gs to convert the
Postscript to PCL. The file prints just fine. However, as a side effect,
this leaves a large PCL file in the spool directory with the file name
template ifhpXXXXXX (for example: ifhpKMaGcn) and these files collect in
the spool directory. The status file doesn't seem to indicate any
problems:

Are there configuration options that I can use to have the intermediate
file removed once the print job has been sent to the printer? Thanks for
any assistance.
Best regards,
