anyone know how to make lpd work with the hp
directjet network printer?
I have been to about every website that shows how
to use lpd but when i
send a print job using lpr to the printer it does
the staircase problem. so I installed the
filter which should keep that from happening, but
alas it did not.
so then I got the foomatic-rip script and the
associated .ppd file for the printer. and it doesnt work at
all
I have the a2gs installed so it shoud
work.
it shouldnt be this difficult to get a plain text
print going but Im having severe problems making this work
correctly.
here is my printcap
lp|hp:\
:lp=/dev/null:
\
:force_localhost:
\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/foomatic-rip:
\
:ppd=/var/spool/lpd/HP-Color_LaserJet_5M-Postscript.ppd:
\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:
\
:rm=10.10.1.3:\
:mx#0:sh:
With this printcap setting it doesnt print anywhere
I do have this line placed in the .ppd file
*FoomaticRIPPostPipe: "| /usr/bin/nc -w 1 hp
9100"
anyone an old pro with this that can help me out?
Thanks
Kent
