| | | | Anyone know of a way to printer image files (ie a Company Logo) to a
| | | | Standard HP Laserjet via ' lp ' ?
| | | | 
| | | | Do I need to convert the image (.jpg  in this case) to PCL for the
| | | | Printer?
| | | 
| | | Yes.
| | | 
| | | I just now opened a .jpeg with xv, saved it as postscript, then printed
| | | that using ghostscript.
| | 
| | I'm finally gonna get you for the excessive keystoke award.
| 
| OK, I'm caught out!
| 
| | I opened the file with xv, clicked on print, entered the name of the
| | printer that pipes the print job through gs.
| | 
| | # cat /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/gs
| | :
| | # @(#) gs
| | PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
| | gs -q -sDEVICE=laserjet -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- "$6" -c quit | lp -o raw -o -d laser1
| | exit 0
| 
| What's the second '-o' for?

The dreaded editing of a script before posting.  My script has -o lm9
because my standard paper is pre-punched with 3 holes.  I removed only
the lm9
