Dear Bruker Users
We have a Silicon Graphics Indy (attached to a DMX400) and a
Bruker ASPECTstation (used as a workstation). The SGI has a
Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 560C (our only printer) on the parallel port. We
would like to print to this from both machines. Currently we can only
plot remotely from the Aspect station using Xedplot, but we would like
to use the normal UXNMR plotting routines too (plot, quickplot,
peaklists and the like). The trouble is that UXNMR uses lp and we need
to persuade it, or unix itself, to use lpr instead. Has anyone
successfully either made UXNMR use lpr, or make unix send data sent to
lp go to lpr instead?
By the way putting a swithching box in so that both computers
can print directly to DeskJet is not a solution; the parallel port on
the AspectStation does not work (or, at least, does not work with this
printer)!
Any suggestions will be gratefully recieved

Martin Waugh
