Can you give some more details? How does it fail? What version of lpr are you using? OK; how does it fail? How is it being invoked, and what printers do you have set up? Also, does it work with other applications? WordPerfect uses its own printer drivers; hmm, that could be a problem. Does WordPerfect still actually use lpr, or does it write derectly to the port? Yes, that sounds like it's trying to convert WordPerfect's output to whatever the printer supports. Hmm... not sure how to handle this; lpr doesn't expect native data. One thing you could do is set up a different printer entry in /etc/printcap that uses the same device, but doesn't use an input filter (no if=<whatever> entry). That should work OK, if WP is doing its own filtering/conversion. If this is lpr related at all (we don't have access to WP source, so we can't be sure what it's doing), it should be fixed in rawhide by the move to LPRng. |
