I have an HP laserjet 1100 which can print at 300x300 and 600x600 dpi. I configured the printer and the apsfilter with YaST. It was very easy to setup the printer. I added two entries for my printer in the /etc/printcap (using YaST) one for 300x300 dpi and one for 600x600 dpi. In /etc/printcap I have 2 blocks with 3 entries each (ascii, ps and raw). The first line refers to the printer name: i.e. ascii|lp1|ljet4-a4-ascii-mono-300|ljet4 a4 ascii mono 300:\ this means that I can print an ascii file with a resolution of 00 dpi with the a2ps filter with the command lpr -P PrinterName FileToBePrinted where PrinterName is one among ascii, lp1,ljet4... The corresponding line for a 600x600 dpi resolution is ljet4-ascii|lp4|ljet4-a4-ascii-mono-600|ljet4 a4 ascii mono 600:\ The shortest way to refer to a printing mode is lpN (where N is a number), but it is quite hard to remember that lp5 correspond to a Postscript printing mode with 600x600 dpi. I tried to edit by hand the /etc/printcap file adding a name, which I can easily remember, to the lines I mentioned above. Then I restarted lpd, but then when I type lpr -P PrinterName I get a "printer unknown" message. Suggestions are welcome.
