magicfilter and smbprint together?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- I have recently figured out how to print from my debian machine to a win95 printer using lpr and the input filter smbprint as follows: rlp|Remote printer entry:\ :cm=HPLIII printer in IIGR 301:\ :lp=/dev/rlp:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\ :af=/var/log/rlp-acct:\ :lf=/var/log/rlp-errs:\ :mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/bin/smbprint:\ :sh: However, I also would like to use the ljet3-filter supplied with magicfilter. I read in the Printing-HOWTO about double queueing but I thought the following solution would be simpler (although it doesn't seem to work:)) - put the ljet3-filter inside of the smbprint script (note that I have an extremely simple smbprint script that is similar to the one supplied with samba, but it has the win95 info hard-coded) - --old smbprint: #!/bin/sh -x ( # NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want automatic # CR/LF translation when printing. echo translate echo print - cat ) | /usr/bin/smbclient MAIN\\HPLIII -N -P /var/log/smb-print.log - --new smbprint: #!/bin/sh -x ( # NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want automatic # CR/LF translation when printing. echo translate echo print - cat ) | /usr/sbin/ljet3-filter | /usr/bin/smbclient MAIN\\HPLIII -N -P /var/log/smb-print.log I thought this would work perfectly, but I'm wrong as when I tried lpr -Prlp test.dvi the printer down the hall started pumping out pages with junk all over them.
