I posted the problem below, and I finally found out what was wrong with my lpd setup -- nothing! The entire problem was a setup on the W98 settings for the driver. All I had to do was disable bi-directional support for the printer. (I think it was enabled because I have a scanner head for the printer.) Just thought the group might like to know.

I thought I had success (well, I had some) setting up printing to my W98 printer. What I find is that I can print a postscript file to the printer just fine -- at least the first page. But, I can't get more than the first page to go. Here's my commands. The first is for a postscript file, and the second uses nenscript so that I can print a text file.

cat mail.ps | gs -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=bjc600 -sOutputFile=- - | smbclient //bertha/CANON -c 'print -'

nenscript -B -p - < mail.txt | gs -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=bjc600 -sOutputFile=- - | smbclient //bertha/CANON -c 'print -'

I think I'm doing something wrong with the gs command, but I don't see what.

TIA, Bill
