Hi all,
this is a followup to my recently posted question with some additional
info.
Printing an ascii file works.
/opt/tarantella/bin/lp -d tta_printer /etc/hosts
************************************************************************

Printing the test page
/opt/tarantella/bin/scripts/printtestpage.en.sh
Looking for Secure Global Desktop Administrator...
Printing test page (text) for UNIX user root
-> Secure Global Desktop user .../_ens/o=Tarantella System
Objects/cn=Administrator @ ultra.smartsoft.internal
Real print command is /bin/lp
Using printer tta_printer
(LPDEST=<null>,PRINTER=<null>,TTA_PRINTER=<null>)
Printing on printer tta_printer for user root
-> Secure Global Desktop user .../_ens/o=Tarantella System
Objects/cn=Administrator
request id is tta_printer-115 (standard input)
produces the following lines in /opt/tarantella/var/log/print.log.
2006/10/27 16:34:41 Printing test page (text) for UNIX user root
2006/10/27 16:34:42 Secure Global Desktop print job root-9649 for user
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, the printer spits out garbage (conversion from PDF to
PostScript does not take place).

Printing a small PDF
/opt/tarantella/bin/lp A.pdf
basically works but the PDF is sent unconverted to the PostScript
printer, so we again get only garbage.

I have the following configuration
• SGD installed on a Solaris 10 x86 machine (application server and
SGD server are the same)
• Mac (MacOSX 10.2) client connecting to the application server
(Native client)
After logging in on the application server I enter the following
command in a terminal session
/opt/tarantella/bin/lp A.pdf
and expect this file to be printed on the default printer of my MacOSX
(BSD unix) box. The printer is a HP 4MP PS and understands PostScript.
The file is actually printed, however it seems that no conversion from
PDF to PostScript takes place. The PDF should fit on one page, the
printer spits out multiple pages starting with
%PDF-1.3 ...
and then only garbage. I browsed through the documentation and found
that the /opt/tarantella/etc/data/default.printerinfo.txt on the SGD
server might need some tweaking. It currently contains the default
entry
[UNIX]
"_Default" = "QMS 1060 Print System" PostScript
I also tried
[UNIX]
"_Default" = "QMS 1060 Print System" PCL
and
[UNIX]
"_Default" = "HP LaserJet 4P/4MP PS" PCL
but without more success. So which piece in this puzzle is actually
responsible for converting a PDF or a PNG or whatever to PostScript or
PCL? It seems I am missing an important part.
Any ideas?
Thanks again!
Regards,
Andreas
