Well, at long last I am able to report that the ln03r et al printing software to give you more features is up on gatekeeper. It is in the directory /pub/DEC/ln0356r.tar, available for anonymous FTP I believe ... Here is the first page or so from the instructions: --------------------------------------------------------------- How to have all the Printserver features without a Printserver. By Eric R. Schott Jeff Glass and others are mostly responsible for this work! Slight tidy-up of this document by R Sharpe. Files: /pub/DEC/ln0356r.tar on gatekeeper.dec.com via anonymous ftp. *** PLEASE NOTE *** These files and instructions are provided as is WITH NO WARRANTIES of any kind. No one in Digital can offer any support for these modifications and instructions. *** END NOTE *** The specialized PostScript features such as "-N" (number up), "-L" (layup files), "-K" (double sided), and ansi translation are supported only for PrintServers (i.e., LPS20s and '40s). With just a little hacking, though, you can get it to work for LN0[356]rs, and LF*r printers too, because much of the work necessary to use Postscript printers with the PrintServer Client software exists, it just isn't supported. These directions assume you have a working postscript, that you want to enable these features on. All other printcap fields operate normally, only add/change the ones we describe below. You should be sure to have the latest lpd and lat patches (available from your CSC) for V4.1 and V4.2. ----------------------------------------------------------- Regards Richard Sharpe These opinions be mine, Digital has its own!
