Sounds like the printer is ok. The problem is the lp interface file
routes ALL files to that printer through a filter that changes .rgb files
to aparently black & white. The offending file is in /usr/spool/lp/interface
The file in that directory that controls the Tek printer has a line
FILTER= 'name of filter file'
That filter is what is used to convert the .rgb files to PostScript. All
filters are stored in /usr/lib/print
This should get you started on the right track. (Personally I prefer lpr
over lp. BSD make life easier.)
