Re: LPRng: PDF problem
hi, if I remember it well the problem is that pdf2ps does not read from STDIN. What I did: in ifhp.conf: file_output_match=[ ... *PDF* ps /usr/libexec/filters/pdf ... ] [printsrv2] ~lp/request/l00ps4 $ cat /usr/libexec/filters/pdf #!/bin/sh #set -x #echo $* /tmp/pdf.log # primitive filter that uses 'pdf2ps' to convert guess what # pdf2ps doesn't read from the commandline therefore this is necessary #PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin #export PATH # we need a tempfile in the spooldirectory # make sure that there is no old shit # (working directory should be the spooldirectory) if /usr/bin/test -e pdf.tmp then # if there is delete it rm pdf.tmp fi # create a new tmp-file touch pdf.tmp # read from STDIN and write into the tmp-file cat pdf.tmp # call the pdf2ps converter binary to convert the tmp-file and write the result to STDOUT /usr/local/bin/pdf2ps pdf.tmp - # delete the tmp-file rm pdf.tmp hope this helps regards ~christoph On Wed, 23 Jan 2002, Johan Bengtsson wrote: On Fri, 18 Jan 2002, Thies Meincke wrote: Hi, I got a problem printing PDF files on a Linux system using LPRNG 3.8.2 and IFHP 3.5.2.

Re: LPRng: PDF problem
If you are having troubles with pdf2ps, just read the pdf2ps script. It is simply a short program which runs gs. So, skip it, and just run gs directly with the appropriate parameters.

Re: LPRng: PDF problem
Hi, as far as I understand it, the pdf.tmp file is created in die spool directory of the queue. For each print job ifhp is used, one print job after the other. The pdf.tmp exists for short time while ifhp is running. So it should not be overwritten. Please correct me if I am wrong.
