@Warren:
Below is what I have in printcap and the filter file. psif is straight out
of the Handbook page. When printing an existing ps file with "$ /usr/bin/lpr
-Php2100", the resulting hardcopy has 3-4 lines truncated from the top - I
can't figure it out.
Secondly, I don't see the point of piping an already ps-formated file
through ghostscript, unless it's to adjust print resolution. Is gs smart
enough to recognize a ps file and simply (and quickly) modify the ink amount
or must it do a complete re-process of the page?
