-Newbie alert- Sorry if this is way basic. My company has a Xerox 4850 production printer that is front-ended by a Sparc/Solaris machine. I've been using FreeBSD 3.1 for a network print spooler for a while, but now I need filters (this printer does _not_ understand PDF, and I need to print many, many PDF files). It seems that the standard lpr/lpd does NOT allow one to use filters for a remotely-hosted printer. I know that there are alternatives (e.g. LPRng), but I haven't been able to determine if they would allow me to set up a filter that would transparently convert the file to PostScript. Any suggestions to RTFM welcome--just point me to the right FM :) TIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
