I have a DECstation 5000/25 with a QMS-PS000 printer attached and am
trying to get lpr set up so I can print my Frame docs (I used to run
this on a Sun).  Problem is, the QMS is considered a "3rd party" printer
(like the ones in the lprsetup directory are really built by DEC, yeah)
and nothing I have tried so far will work.  Anybody have a QMS-anything
hooked up to *any* flavor of DECstation?  I'm sure the setup (which I'm
sure your bled through) would be the same ... it's that .a archive file
that's out to get me I'd bet.
Any help would be appreciated ... a printcap file example would earn
respect and admiration to go along with it. :-)
