We have a PI that has TranScript installed, and we have a HP LaserJet III
with a HP PostScript cartridge. I can print fine using lp et al.
However, I also want to be able to use lpr/lpd to print from other
non-SGI machines (i.e. other machine that have lpr/lpd e.g. Suns, Mips'
etc.) and I want to do accounting. How do I get this to work? On Suns
with TranScript there is a special filter, psif, which is a little shell
script that handles calling pscomm, psbanner et al, (much as
interface/PostScript under lp does). However, psbanner, pscomm don't
seem to take the same args on the SGI that they do on the Sun. Hence,
my problem: How do I set up TranScript to work with lpr so I can do page
accounting? I've R'd the FM for TranScript, but the FM doesn't give the
args for these programs. Any and all help appreciated.
