Hi
I have an HP DJ850C on WIndows NT 4, set up so I can print to it using
the NT LPD service. I can print ASCII text to is just great.
Now, I want to be able to print formatted text to it from my Red Hat box.
I set up a local queue using the DJ550C in the printtool and then tried
modifying the entry to read...
lp|dj:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp850c:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=hwin.interweft.com.au:\
:rp=850C:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/hp850c/filter:\
:sh:
The filter is
#!/bin/sh
DEVICE=djet500c
RESOLUTION=300x300
PAPERSIZE=a4
SENDEOF=
nenscript -TUS -ZB -p- |
if [ "$DEVICE" = "PostScript" ]; then
cat -
else
gs -q -sDEVICE=$DEVICE \
-r$RESOLUTION \
-sPAPERSIZE=$PAPERSIZE \
-dNOPAUSE \
-dSAFER \
-sOutputFile=- -
fi
if [ "$SENDEOF" != "" ]; then
printf "\004"
fi
exit 0
However - this doesn't give me formatted printing, just ASCII
(postscript) text.
Can anyone tell me how to set this up please - using standard Red Hat 3
installed rpm's? I am waiting for my Red Hat 4 CDs so can't use later
rpm's!
Many thanks.
