mixed text and postscript



I'd like to be able to print both text and PostScript using one
printcap entry.  HP recommends setting up two separate printcap
entries, but it seems to me that it should be possible to do this
using some sort of an input filter that converts text to PostScript
and leaves PostScript files alone.  Has anyone done something like
this with LPRng?  I'm using an HP LaserJet 4000N with a JetDirect
card.

On a separate note, is there something special I need to do to get
queue status information from a SunOS machine?  When I print from
Debian, I can get a list of every job in the queue with lpq.  From the
Sun (which sends all print requests to the Debian box), I can only get
the total number of jobs, but not a job-by-job listing.  What gives?

Thanks,
    Max
