Hi All
My finance software (SQL Ledger) runs on a server with no GUI. It serves through Apache to desktops and uses lp for printing. So when I print an invoice it's not my desktop that is printing it's the backend server printing directly to the printer in my office.
I've got an OfficeJet9100 on the LAN in my office where the invoice comes out. Other employees have their own printers.
Here is my printcap entry:
It currently prints in color and I'd like to turn that off but only for the finance software.
The printer makes black characters by mixing the colored ink which maximizes the ink consumption and HP's profits at my expense.
Recently HP did a firmware upgrade and now the printer won't accept third party ink cartridges. I'm not impressed and won't buy another HP printer.
Can someone point me to a list or reference that shows me how to add a line to the printcap entry to force the printing in monochrome?
