Not true in -current (and I think I brought the changes back into
2.2). You can now use filters w/ remote printers.... since 2.2.2
AFAIR. The only difference is that output filters will be executed
once per job when remote printing ('cos it has to figure out how big
the file is before talking to the remote lpd).
Perhaps the problem is that the filter doesn't have a
#! /bin/sh
at the top.
