It says in the manual-page for the lpr-command that lpr should be able to
detect whether the file being printed is a postscript-file or not (if the
file starts with %! ). 

I can't make this work. Has anybody tried this out ? Does lpr send an
argument to the filter, in order to make it behave as a transperant filter
?

The reason why we want to make this work, is that we want to spool files
from a uVax running VMS/Wollongong TCP/IP. This software is not capable of
sending flags over to the Sun-machine that deals with the printer (i.e.
lpr -v ).
