I am not an expert user and am fairly n00b to BSD...Please be gentle.
I have an Epson DFX 500+ (dot matrix) printer attached to our network via
rj45. It has an IP address. I also have a server set up on our lan that
my programming students connect to via ssh to write code.
I have been trying to get my printer working with FreeBSD for some time
now and am almost there. I can finally print to it, but each new print
job starts where the previous left off. So, here is what I have done so
far...
my /etc/printcap file...
lp|dfx:\
:rm=dfx:rp=lpb:sd=/var/spool/dfx:
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
:lf=/var/log/dfx.log
my /usr/local/libexec/if-simple file... As per archive suggestion
#!/bin/sh
/bin/cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
exit 2
I can print fine, but I want a form feed after each job. Can anybody
help?
PS: It may be necessary to reply directly to me (knichel@cairodurham.org).
The last time I tried to subscribe to this list, i never got any of the
emails from the list. My net admin said he fixed the DNS issue, but I am
not positive.
