Garh, this is yet another "How do most people expect printtool to behave" issue. The answer is this: lpd_bouce=true tells the system to filter requests locally, before sending them. This way, you can easily print to postscript only printers, because the format gets changed locally, and postscript gets sent to the printer. For most people, this is a good thing. However, apparently printtool doesn't notice if you don't set a filter (which you didn't), so LPRng tries to filter locally, and sends some wierdness on to the remote queue (because you told it to filter, using no filter, so ...). So, the in-printtool answer is: select a print filter for the remote queue. Sorry. I will put this on the pile of printtool changes that need to be made. |
