Manual Selection of Filters
The NIC ships with an input filter called
psfilter
and an
output filter called
psbanner
to print PostScript banners.
You may wish to change
infilter
or
outfilter
entries in the /
etc/printcap file. The following is a sample printcap entry
using these filters:
<print_name> | NIC printer:\
:lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\
:if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\
:of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\
:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:
