Hi All, I have a raw print queue configured in CentOS 4.4 for a printer connected to a Windows PC. The printer doesn't have a Linux driver of any sort, so this was the only way to print to it. The printer is an Okidata dot matrix printer. Users can print to it from a console application, but if they try printing to it from OOo Writer, the printer spits out reams of pages with what looks like postscript code. The very first page has a line that says "%! PS-Adobe-3.0". Even though the print queue is configured as "raw", why are OOo Writer print jobs still sent as postscript documents? I'm don't know too much about printing, postscript, etc., so I don't know if this is normal or if something broke. Regards, Ranbir
Why would you want to configure the print que as raw when you are printing through an application package? I understand that the console application may need the raw que as it is probably doing all the printer formatting with the application.
Simply create another printer que to the same printer using the proper printer driver for that printer and all will be well.
