i am using the print filter i compiled from the cd rom
/books/scripts/lpfilter.c

i have an HP 5P lazerjet printer

if i send
lptest | lpr
to the printer it prints out fine

however if i try
cat myfile | lpr
the light blinks but nothing prints

then if i try
lptest | lpr
it prints myfile and the lptest stuff

it seems the printer is not ejecting the last page
so the later stuff comes up on the lptest

and it seems the only way i can force the printer to print
is with lptest

also if i try to print a web page from netscape
it prints out the postscript in ascii format

am i using the correct print filter?

thanks

pete
