Hi All

I've managed to get my SUN's (solaris 2.5.1) printing text files to a PC printer using the following script:-

client="pc1"
pshare="pr1"
printfile="/tmp/smbspool.$"
cat > $printfile
if [ -s $printfiel ] ; then
	(echo "translate" ; echo "print $printfile" ; echo "quit" ) \
	| /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient \\\\$client\\$pshare -P -N
fi
rm -f $printfile
exit 0

But I want to be able to print postscript files too.  Any info greatfully received :-)

Many thanks
Liz
