Hi all,
I am a cups newcomer. We have trouble to print files produced with
psutils. The lines
/setpagedevice {pop}bind 1 index where{dup wcheck{3 1 roll put}
{pop def}ifelse}{def}ifelse
cause the problems.
It is possible to add a new mime.type entry and a rule in mime.convs
to get the correct output on the cups server. I add the line
<</Tumble true>> setpagedevice
and send the output without pstops with application/vnd.cups-raw
to the printer. This works on the server.
I add the same entries on the client.
But on the client (with a running cupsd) the command
lp -o document-format=application/myownform psutils-job
doesn't work, because the filter rule was not used,
not on the client and not on the server
What can I do?
How do you solve this problem. The psutils tools are very popular.
Thanks for your help
Waltraut
