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.
