I know this is a Solaris group, but I also know a lot of people who
read this, also have extensive SunOS and CAP experience...
I've been working for the past two weeks trying to get cap60.pl100
(patched to 198) to print to my SunOS 4.1.x system with no luck.
I get a banner page but no output. Does anyone have any tips they
could share? I'm about to go for three points with the Mac.
I'm trying to print to a QMS 815 printer (which also has an appletalk
connector, but we use it primarily on the Sun). The printer can print
both postscript and text fine. The Mac is running 7.1
I'm pretty sure its a filter problem, but using the papif and papof
hangs the printer. I captured the output and ran it under ghostscript
and got Error: /undefined in md, so I put the -N flag when calling lwsrv
and that helped, but now it gives something like Command F not valid
(Don't have the postscript file anymore and the macs in another
building right now)
Also, using a commercial package on another system (Ushare), the
document prints fine to the same printer (from mac). What am I missing here?
My /etc/printcap entry:

My start-cap-servers line for the printer is:
LWARGS="-e -a ${LIB}/procsets -f ${LIB}/LWPlusFonts -N"
${CAP}/lwsrv -n "sonix" -p sonix ${LWARGS}
I've tried it without the -N, without the -e, nearly every combo you
can thing of. Again, spooling works, only a header page printed.
My cap.printers is:
