Hi All,
I'm trying to set up my laserjet III using ghostscript, but now through
my new NetGear print server, which can do TCP printing, LPR, etc. But I
need to figure out how to send it to an ip address and a spool (or
whatever you call it) as there are two printers hooked up to this 2 port
server.
Here is what I got off a page I was looking at
(http://cfauvcs5.harvard.edu/SetGSprinter4Solaris.html#Remote):
lpadmin -p <printer name> -i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard -v /dev/null
\
-o dest=<printer network address> -I postscript
Then edit /etc/lp/interfaces/<printer name> file and replace whole
if-statement
if [ -z "${FILTER}" ]
then
#####
#
# If no filter is being used, we use netpr to push the
# file to the printer.
# (QUOTES ARE IMPORTANT!)
#####
....
fi
with
FILTER="/path_to_gs/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE <options to run your
printer> -sOutputFile=- -"
Then run
enable your_printer_name
accept your_printer_name
######end of web page#######
Does anyone know how to set this up so that I can send it to a specific
que, or spool or whatever on the print server?
