That was the only thing that I could think of, too.
We'll see if anyone else has any ideas.

FEATURE. It's a FEATURE...:-)
May I ask another printer-related question?
Using KDE, is there a way to change the quality or resolution
of a print job on the fly? For example, when I open KEdit
to print a file, I don't have an option to print in a
different resolution or to lower the quality setting.
I'm having to edit /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/hp1100/apsfilterrc
and change things to suit me before each print job at a
different setting.
I don't use KDE or apsfilter, so someone else will have to
answer this. If I understand what you're looking for, you
might be able to get the effect you want by defining multiple
print queues, with different options for each queue.

May I ask another printer-related question?
Using KDE, is there a way to change the quality or resolution of a print job
on the fly? For example, when I open KEdit to print a file, I don't have an
option to print in a different resolution or to lower the quality setting.
I'm having to edit /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/hp1100/apsfilterrc and change
things to suit me before each print job at a different setting.

Here's larry's /etc/printcap:

:lp=:rm=moe:rp=hp1100:sd=/var/spool/output/moe:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
In your /etc/hosts.lpd file, you specify a fully-qualified
name for 'larry'. But in your printcap file, you specified
only 'moe', and not something like 'moe.howse.homeunix.net'.
That seems a bit inconsistent to me, but I assume it is not
too important.
To me, it looks like lpd is not accepting remote connections
on moe. That would happen if lpd is not being started during
system startup, or if you have started it up with the '-s'
("secure") flag. What do you see if you type the following
command on moe:
ps axuww | grep lpd
And what startup-variables do you find on moe if you type
the following command:
grep lpd /etc/defaults/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf

connection to remote printer is down
HI, I haven't had much luck getting questions answered lately, maybe my luck will change on Thanksgiving. I have an HP1100 printer that I set up on machine "moe" with apsfilter, and is working perfectly. I have a hard copy of the Handbook that I went by, and I have Googled with no joy. I'm trying to setup machine "larry" to print text only to the printer on "moe", but I'm not getting anywhere. Jobs get into the local spool, but time out waiting on the remote machine to "come up". I can ping the remote machine with no difficulty. I have the following in /etc/hosts.lpd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/hosts.lpd # $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts.lpd,v 1.4 1999/08/27 23:23:42 peter Exp $ # # See lpd(8) #machine.domain larry.howse.homeunix.net Here's moe's /etc/printcap: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL hp1100|ljet4;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this Here's larry's /etc/printcap: lp|hp1100:\ :lp=:rm=moe:rp=hp1100:sd=/var/spool/output/moe:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: Here's a sample print session on larry: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lpr /etc/rc.conf [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lpq larry.howse.homeunix.net: waiting for moe to come up Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1stroot 9/etc/rc.conf 926 bytes connection to moe is down -- Thanks, Charles http://howse.homeunix.net:8080 Random Murphy's Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
