Re: Filter for HP5L

[Wojciech Zabolotny <wzab@ipe.pw.edu.pl>]

This is my configuration of HP5L, which works fine:
lpfin is for PostScript printing - final quality
lp or lpdr for PostScript printing - draft quality
Similarly binpr is for printing of binary files with final quality
and bindrpr for printing of binary files with draft quality.

This is my /etc/printcap:

lpfin\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lpfin:\
	:mx#0:\
	:lp=/dev/lp1:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/lpfin/filter-lj:\
	:sh:

lp|lpdr:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lpdr:\
	:mx#0:\
	:lp=/dev/lp1:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/lpdr/filter-lj:\
	:sh:

binpr:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/binpr:\
	:mx#0:\
	:lp=/dev/lp1:\
	:sh:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/binpr/filter-lj:

bindrpr:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/bindrpr:\
	:mx#0:\
	:lp=/dev/lp1:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/bindrpr/filter-lj:\
	:sh:

Below are the filter files:
File /var/spool/lpd/lpfin/filter-lj and /var/spool/lpd/lpdr/filter-lj
(both are identical, but prinit.bin is different):

#!/bin/sh
if [ -e prinit.bin ]; then
 cat prinit.bin
fi
gs -q \
 -sDEVICE=ljet4 \
 -I/usr/lib/ghostscript \
 -I/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts \
 -r600 \
 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 \
 -dNOPAUSE \
 -dSAFER \
 -sOutputFile=- -

File /var/spool/lpd/binpr/filter-lj and /var/spool/lpd/bindrpr/filter-lj
(both are identical, but prinit.bin is different)

#!/bin/sh
if [ -e prinit.bin ]; then
 cat prinit.bin
fi
cat -

The files prinit.bin are sent as encoded attachments, because they contain
non-ASCII characters
