9891.0. "filter files and /etc/printcap" by CHEFS::LONG_J () Tue May 20 1997 11:31

    We have recently taken over a customer contract where they are
    migrating their vms system to DIGITAL UNIX.
    
    On the vms system they have print queues which make use of forms and
    setup modules.
    
    We are currently trying to configure sector7 which will give us print
    queues, and forms, but will not give us setup modules.
    
    So, I need to be able to put the setup module into the printcap file
    for the printer so that it will print the files correctly.
    
    I have tried using the of filter but this does not appear correct.  I
    have looked into dsn its and have found examples where you cat the
    filter file or modify the xf filter to cat the filter file, the only
    problem here is that I have more than one filter file to use.
    
    Any help on how I should set these up would be gratefully received.
