914.0. "lp without filters but have spooling" by NECSC::BLOOD () Tue Feb 18 1997 16:24

    Hi
    	Is there a way to set up lp to go to a lat printer without the use
    of an input or output filter, as if you cat the file to the device.
    However he wants the jobs to be spooled.

	Sounds like a job for the "transparent filter", /usr/lbin/xf. It's a shell file that consists of a copyright comment and the command '/bin/cat'. -Mark
