Hey all.
I have a printing bug that I think will be dead obvious to someone else,
I just can not see what it is.
I am trying to print to a HP DeskJet 500C attached to a WinNT box (which
is SMBed). When I print, all I get is:
GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>GS>
on the one line, and then an almighty number of blank pages.
I am using apsfilter as my filter, and the print command I am using to
test is:
a2ps /etc/fstab
Below is an example entry in printcap:
lp|lp2|cdj500-a4-auto-mono|cdj500 auto mono:\
:lp=/dev/deskjet:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/cdj500-a4-auto-mono:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/cdj500-a4-auto-mono/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/cdj500-a4-auto-mono/acct:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/netprint_lp2:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
/usr/local/bin/netprint_lp2 is just a tiny shell script:
#!/bin/bash
/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/aps-cdj500-a4-auto-mono - $@ | \
/usr/bin/smbprint $@
(NB: I modified smbprint to get rid of the CR/LF conversion, which is
why the GS prints all on 1 line I guess...)
Any help would be most appreciated : )
