    Hey,

    we have a problem with our Postscript Printer, because we need
    to print a banner. We use DECstations 5120 running Ultrix V4.2.
    The problem is that the banner is in ASCII, I think,
    and the printer understands only postsctipt, so the printer
    hangs, when we print a normal postscript file with banner
    (lpr -Ppostprn1 <file>). Our /etc/printcap looks like this:


    postprn1|lp1:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/post1err:\
        :of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/prtfilter:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/postprn1:


    Could somebody tell me, how I can print banners with a
    PostScript Printer ? Please mail me your informations.


    Thanks for your efforts,

        Oliver
