Some new printer drivers do not work

Last changed 25. Jan 1997

Description

The two files /usr/lib/lpfilters/sv/ghostscript and /etc/xadmin/printcap have not been completely updated for the new version 3.33 of ghostscript.

Effect

Xadmin does not offer some new printer drivers and overwrites the (new) version of /etc/printcap from Unifix Linux 2.0 with an older version. The line printer filter does not correctly recognize some new printer drivers.

Fix

Install the new version of these two files. Get the patch http://www.unifix.de/support/patches/patch-2.0.0.6.cpio , and run (as root) swinstall -s patch-2.0.0.6.cpio .

Workaround

To work around the problem with Xadmin, get the original /etc/printcap from the Unifix Linux 2.0 runtime CD-ROM and configure it by hand.
