Hello folks. I am asking this question here because I had no luck
searching the RedHat mailing list archives.
I have several really nice HP printers (POSTSCRIPT capable) on my
network. They all have JetDirect cards in them and are configured for
TCP/IP. I have gotten the JetAdmin software for the commercial UNIXes
I am running and set up the printers. I would like to be able to
print directly off my Colgate box to the various printers. The
question is what software poackages do I need to run?
I have configure "/etc/printcap" and can get stuff to the printer, but
it "stair steps". I know "stair steps" is a filter problem, but I do
not believe that I can specify filters on remote printer queues. I
have used APS in the past, but it seems there should be a better way
then that.
How are other people handling this. I guess I could always send stuff
another UNIX box which has JetAdmin software so the filters are setup,
but I would like to NOT do that.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Reasonable clients are a wonderful thing.
I wish I had some reasonable clients.
