...ayst speak only pure postscript! 2) Have samba declare that all its jobs are type pcl. Add "-T pcl t the samba print command. This changes it to: lp -c -d %p -T pcl %s; rm %s 3) Add a filter to solaris so pcl jobs can still print on postscript printers: cat <<EOF > /etc/lp/fd/pcl2ps.fd # cat pcl2ps.fd # pcl2ps.fd filter description # Converts samba jobs to clean postscript # ( if the printer can't handle PCL ) # # michael.james@email.net.au 21/6/99 Input types: pcl Output types: postscript Printer types: any Printers: any Filter type: fast Command: /opt/samba/bin/pcl2p...

...c -d %p -T pcl %s; rm %s IE: declare all samba jobs of type pcl and all HPs capable of type pcl. Instead of the lpadmin command you could edit the /etc/lp/printers/printername/configuration file and set: Content types: simple,postscript,pcl Then lpshut; lpsched the system. I also have pcl2ps installed using lpfilter. It's a perl filter I wrote that strips pcl headers off the postscript jobs created by the postscript HP drivers allowing them to be printed on postscript printers. Hope this is of some use, michaelj
