printing with lpd to remote printer
Hi,
I have a hplaserjet 4200n networkprinter attached to my network. I
have installed lpr on the server. Now I would like to be able to print
from the server to the networkprinter.
When I send a postscript file to the printer it gets nicely printed.
When I send a txt file to it, the lines don't get linewrapped.
I would also like to be able to send images to it.
In other words, lpr should recognize the what kind of file it is.
How do I set this up?
This is the entry in my printcap file:
# Remote Laserjet 4200n
lp|hp|laserjet|Laserjet 4200 n:\
:lp=:\
:rm=wieske.tollembeek:\
:rp=remoteprinter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/4200:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
Please note, I want this done with lpr and not cups or something else.
Thanks in advance
