Hi,
mh, maybe i misunderstand you, but normally cups find out what is send to them, and will convert it automatically to ps, if your ppd file is correct and your /etc/cups/printers.conf also.
Along the way I have general and specifics. As I understand it I can pretty-print to my postscript printer email messages using 'enscript' with the "language=mail" option under the "-E" option. Right now I have to save the message to a text file and run the command with -P brother_Postscript which is my raw interface. It seems clunky. As clunky as sending a PGP message the same way rather than using the Enigmail plugin. back in the UNIX SVR4 days the front-end filters were smart enough to recognise email and check user config and do the 'enscript' thing. So why isn't CUPS recognising what is being sent to it? Why can't I set up a 'enscript' filter if it sees email? Or, conversely, this isn't a CUPS problem but a problem that has to be solved for each and ever mail user interface individually. Which, as I implied, for an old UNIX hack, seems a bit ridiculous. maybe someone should reinvent the SVR4 print manager and replace CUPS. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
