Description of problem: When I run a2ps with the -P and -2 options, instead of sending the output to the printer given as the argument to the -P flag, a2ps creates a file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.13b-53 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "foo" > foo.txt 2. rm -f hplj2 3. a2ps -P hplj2 -2 foo.txt Actual results: You get a new file named "hplj2", which contains the generated postscript. Expected results: A printout.
This problem exists in the just released Fedora Core 6 as well and also affects the -d option (which previously sent to the default printer). Instead of going to default printer, it goes to stdout.
Build requires cups.
Fixed in update: a2ps-4.13b-57.fc6.3
