If you can be more specific, you might get some specific advice. I don't think most folks are going to read through all the stuff you have attached below. (I think it is several hundred lines long.)Tell us: 1. What machine are you trying to print from and how you want to print. (lpr, or a big smbclient command or something else?) 2. What you have for a print server. 3. What type of printer you are using. 4. What kind of file you are trying to print. If you want a black box solution, I can't help, (black box printing solutions usually defeat me, and you can't debug them.) Joel
I do this same thing between two linux boxes, so it should work the same.
The only difference is I send the output to a file, not to a printer, and, I
check to see if the file is postscript. If it is, I convert it to text. To
translate it, by which I think you mean to add an 0A to the end of each
line, change the filter where indicated to read:
cat | sed "s/.*/&\r/"
Client:
/etc/printcap
text:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/text:\
:rm=hammer2.jhammer.org:\
:rp=text:\
:sh:mx#0:
Server:
/etc/printcap
text:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/text:\
mx#0:\
:lp=/tmp/textprint:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/text/filter:\
:sh:
filter:
#!/bin/bash
cat < /dev/null > `set | sed -n "s/.*:lp=//p"`
set > shellvalues
a=`set | sed -n "s/^l//p" | xargs file | grep PostScript`
echo $a > junkname
[ -z "$a" ] || {
cat | ps2ascii
exit 0
}
a=`set | sed -n "s/^l//p" | xargs file | grep text `
[ -z "$a" ] || {
cat <---Change this line as indicated above to add the 0a.
exit 0
}
echo invalid file type of
set | sed -n "s/^l//p" | xargs file
exit 0

OPPS.
I put in the wrong client queue.
This queue does what you want to do. This is the client side print filter.
#!/bin/sh
echo `date` > time
set > shellvalues
enscript -Z -p - | /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //hammer2/text -N -c
"print -" 1>junk 2>junk
exit 0
The client side queue is:
test:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/test:\
mx#0:\
:lp=/tmp/printout:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/test/filter:
