Has anyone had success using the psf filter that comes with the
netatalk package with normal lpd printing? I've tried to list
it as a filter in order to allow printing of non-postscript files
to a postscript printer, but it never seems to work. Here's
an example of my printcap file:
laser|Advantage Laser Printer:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:\
:lp=/var/spool/lpd/laser/null:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd/laser:\
:of=/usr/local/atalk/etc/filters/ofpsf:\
:if=/usr/local/atalk/etc/filters/ifpsf:\
:tf=/usr/local/atalk/etc/filters/tfpsf:\
:rm=lp:rp=lp_cr:mx#0:
Piping a file through psf and then through lpr works fine, but
normal printing does not seem to invoke psf.
Also, on an unrelated note, is there a disk performance benchmarking
tool that will compile under netbsd/mac68k? I want to compare
the performance of different kernels (ncrscsi vs. sbc drivers)
and need something that will extensively test reading and writing.
