I'm looking for a simple ascii2ps or "Sun ascii" to "DOS ascii" filter
that I can use in /etc/printcap.
The printer is connected to i386 box running NetBSD 1.4.1.
I want a couple of users on Solaris 2.6 to be able to send messages from
dtmail to this box.
The printer, an Okidata OL810e/PS, understands PCL, Postscript, and
"DOS ascii".
I just spent 6 hours trying to get a filter working on the Solaris
side without luck, and I'm now making the attempt on the BSD side.
Tried "of=/usr/local/bin/enscript" in /etc/printcap, but that does
nothing.
I get this error in /var/log/lpd-errs:
Try `enscript --help' for more information.
enscript: invalid option -- w
Try `enscript --help' for more information.
enscript: invalid option -- w

Any hints or tips. Or just a small, simple ascii2ps filter?
Thanks in advance!
