This may have been answered before, but I can't find anything in my limited
archives...
Is there any good way to use Berkeley Print Spooling (lpr, etc) with a
standard PostScript printer (we have an Abaton LaserScript, which emulates
a PostScript printer in one of its modes).  What I need is the appropriate
filter(s) and printcap entries; I don't really want to use lp unless I have
to.  Actually, I couldn't get the printer set up in lp either (I would have
thought "mkcentpr" would be the command to use, but it didn't have an option
for PostScript; there was a man page for "mkPS", but the command was not on
our system).  Thanks for any suggestions...
