How to Print landscape to Win shared printer?
For some Windows shared printers I have been able to set up print queues in Unix through samba that will print on the local shared printer. But I also need to be able to print 132 column text files in landscape to the windows printer. The -Olandsacpe switch is ignored in lpr and putting pl#132 in the printcap file is ignored. Is there any way to print landscape using Samba to a Windows shared local printer? If so, any info would be appreciated. Ray
Are you sending a text file to the windows printer? Do you have the right drivers for the windows printer on your linux box? I would try to use enscript to convert the text file to a landscape postscript document, and then print that document to the windows printer, with the appropriate filter.
