6.2.3.3 Manual Selection of Filters

The NIC ships with an input filter called psfilter and an output filter

called

psbanner to print PostScript banners.

You may wish to change

infilter or outfilter entries in the /etc/print-

cap file. The following is a sample printcap entry using these filters:

<printer_name> | NIC printer:\

:lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\

:if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\

:of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\

:sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:
