LPR Printing to UNIX Server

[E Jones]

I'm printing to a Canon BJC-3000 inkjet printer on a UNIX print server via
LPR. The "C-card" being sent by Win 2000 is including an "l" parameter,
which, I am told, indicates that the file is PostScript data. The UNIX
server therefore tries to convert it, since the Canon is NOT a PostScript
printer. Why would Win2000 behave thus? Is there any control or
configuration to manage the control records sent over in the C-card? I am
using the correct print driver on Win 2000, because I can print to the same
printer using the same driver through other ports. It is only the LPR
client that gives this strange behavior.

Thanks.

Hi!

Did you Install "Unix Printig Services" and attached it to an "lpr" port?
