Re: update:StarOffice,printing and dj, again!

Hi!  Just an update on this printing situation from
StarOffice to a remote nt4.0, hp870Cse.  I've tried your suggested
printcap and script and still no luck, BUT after some minor fiddling with
the entries I have part of this operation working and I can watch the document
pass through the first spool directory and stop in the second.  lpq
show that there is a entry waiting to be printed, but 'no daemon present'. 
I think the problem now lies with the way nt4.0 lpd identifies its printers
to the Linux box.  My old printcap without the double queue apparently
allowed lpq, from linux, to get information directly from the nt4.0 lpd
spooler.  The double queue configuration doesn't allow this to happen
and lpq(linux) finds no printers connected to nt4.0.   Somewhere
along the line, nt4.0 assigns the 'hp870' name to the nt4.0 lpd printer
and I can't identify where or how this happens.  As always, 
without the double queue and/or filter(s), plain text goes straight through
with no problems.

I'll keep working on it.
