- BACKGROUND:
-
- I am using an Interleaf product called WorldView on an IBM RS/6000
- model 560. WorldView is a tool that views PrinterLeaf files which
- are in an Interleaf page description language. When printing, the
- Worldview tool must convert the PrinterLeaf to Postscript, but it
- only knows how to do this for an AppleLaserwriter or HP LaserJet.
-
- I need to print to a DEC LPS-40 printer. WorldView does allow you
- to configure the printing to use Interleaf for converting to
- Postscript, allowing me to properly create a postscript for the
- LPS-40. In order for Interleaf to do this, it must modify the
- print queue to perform what they call "double spooling." The
- problem is that the LPS-40 queue is a remote (LPD) queue and
- Interleaf cannot properly modify it.
-
- QUESTION:
-
- Is there a way to define a LOCAL print queue on the RS/6000 that
- sends it's output to a remote queue on the same host? This
- remote queue would then send it's output to the remote host.

- Interleaf has not been much help with this problem, and IBM is
- looking into it. If anyone has any ideas or solutions, PLEASE
- send them to the mail address below.
-
- ALSO:
-
- One other small question: Is there a way to do ANY KIND of
- accounting on remote print queues? This may be a FAQ but I
- did not see it in the list.
-
-
- Thanks in advance to everyone who can help!
