949.0. "problems with hpnpf V1" by KAOFS::R_LANGE (Really?...no not really!..) Mon Jun 02 1997 16:44

    I am having problems getting the hpnpf V1 filter to work properly so I
    can send multi-copy print jobs to the JetDirect hp Laser printer.
    The hpnpf filter does not appear to be called, and I can't figure out
    why. THe system is running V3.2C UNIX. I have tried to keep the
    printcap simple. Here is what I have done. I hope someone out there can
    help....this is starting to chew up too much time.
    
    # more /etc/printcap
    lp|0|ljet1:\
            :lf=/usr/adm/lp2err:\
            :lp=:/dev/null:\
            :of=/usr/lbin/hpjet.of:\
            :xf:/usr/lbin/xf:\
            :sd=/usr/spool/lpd2:
    
    # more hpjet.of
    #!/bin/sh -x
    /usr/lbin/hpnpf -n -x hpjet -l testlp.log
    
    # ls -la hpnpf
    -rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin        49152 May 21 10:55 hpnpf
    
    
    I also noticed that the instructions in the tar kit differ from those
    on

    Thanks in advance
