Hi everyone,

I'd like to use lpd to drive a local Postscript printer off the
parallel port of an Indigo, preferably filtering via the Transcript
stuff that comes with the Irix laser printer support disc, since
that's what we're running on our Suns.  I've tried this in the past
using an output filter I concocted myself, with marginal success..  It
worked, but not reliably.

Is anyone doing this, or am I better off sticking with lp?  I'd like
to be able to run lpd since that's what we're doing everywhere else.
Any pointers/war stories/etc. would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, this is vanilla Irix 4.0.5...  I haven't gone to 4.0.5F yet.

	Paul
