If your printer doesn't have a PostScript interpreter you need ghostscript to convert PostScript to PCL; your input filter should be something like: #!/bin/sh exec 3>&1 1>&2 gs -dFIXEDMEDIA -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -r300x300 -sDEVICE=laserjet \ -sOutputFile="| $CAT 1>&3" -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -q - If your printer is connected to the network by a JetDirect interface, send the data to tcp port 9100 (the handbook helps).
