Non-PostScript Printers
The
lpr command can
handle a variety of file types, including PDF, plain text, and a
variety of image types (JPEG, TIFF, and others). If your printer does
not support PostScript, you will not be able to use
lpr to print PostScript files directly. This also
means that you won’t be able to use
enscript for printing.
However, if you’ve installed Fink (see Section 8.1), you can install the ghostscript package and
run
ps2pdf
to turn your PostScript file into a
PDF. To run enscript on the
food file, convert it to PDF, and print it, use
pipes between enscript, ps2pdf,
and lpr:
% enscript -o - food | ps2pdf - - | lprThe -o - switches and the pipe symbol
(|) tell enscript to send its
PostScript output to the ps2pdf program. The
- - options and the pipe tell
ps2pdf to read its input from the pipe and send
its output to lpr, which sends the PDF to the
printer. For more information on pipes, see Chapter 6.
