Request help setting up IP printer w/Jetdirect card

[Scott Ehrlich]

Thanks.  Yes, I discovered lpd needed to run :-)

My next task will be to devise a filter to ideally have all jobs (text and
binary) converted to postscript, the universal language, and then printed.

If you or anyone else on the list has a working filter for this purpose,
please email it (or reference a URL).

Thanks.

Scott
