Berkeley Print Spooling and PostScript Printers

[Brent L. Bates ViGYAN AAD/TAB]

  We use lpr all the time with out any problems.  If you have a PostScript
file, you don't need any filters.  Below is the printcap entry for our
HP laser printer and our Tektronix 4693D printer both are connected to
parallel ports, one on a 210VGX and the other on a 320VGX.

PostScript image files.
