lpd configuration problems
Hello,
I have two machines I am working with. Odeen is a desktop
server with an Epson ActionPrinter attached to it. I can print from
odeen's command line without any problems. I have magicfilter
installed and it converts whatever I print into printer-specific
instructions through ghostscript.
Hallam is my laptop. I want to be able to print from hallam to
the printer on odeen. I have hallam set up using the ps300-filter with
odeen set as the remote machine. When I attempt to print a postscript
file from hallam I get the postscript commands as output on the
printer. No conversion is being done by odeen from postscript to the
printer's native format. What am I doing wrong here? Am I
misunderstanding something?
later,
joseph
P.S. I have attached the printcap files from hallam and odeen in case
they are of any help.
