  I would like any information or source on a lpd(8) "if" or "of" filter
for a Laser Writer that will be printing only Postscript files.  All  of
our Postscript is generated on PC's  currently and we have to share  the
Laser Writer among them.

  We now have NFS on the main systems  and can put PC-NFS on all of  the
PC's generating postscript.  I would now like to put the Laser Writer on
the main system  spooler (using a  tty port)  and then have  all the  PC
users use the NET  PRINT command to print  their Postscript files.   The
one thing I'm worried about  is a lpd(8) filter  for Unix and the  Laser
Writer.  Some people said that I  need one to catch output back from  th
printer or bad things could happen.

  All we need I guess is a straight through filter (as our Postscript is
already generated)  that will  listen for  and log  errors flushing  the
output from the Laser Writer.  If a special printcap is needed then this
would be handy to have also.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We're running BSD 4.3 with NFS
on a 750 and uVAX.  Thanks
