Hullo mail with symillar content was sent to kelly@plutotech.com,person ,who has wriiten the Chapter 7 of handbook of fbsd but he was not willing /able to answer so I appeal on you :)) printer used was Canon bjc 250 connected on /dev/lpt0 (parallel printer) os used was fbsd in release 3.2 so i got staircase effect,as you might guess All remedies suggested in handbook were: to play with dip-switches on printer ( i have not any) to set some flags for serial printer to use suggested script hpi Obviously,nothing can be applied in my case so the first question is: I)does anyone know the escape sequencs for Canon bjc 250 that force printer to treat LP as LR+CR the second question has to do with lack of information of settings for the lpd daemon,in handbook in chapter / at least nothing is said about expected settings,flags and so on II) How should the programm /usr/sbin/lpd be set (expected to be set) the third question is about apsfilter it was said many good things about this programm(it was advertised as almost panacea) i am not famillar with this programm . i tried to install it and i even brought it so far that queue coulbe be enabled,but lpq(1) gave following response back: "queue enabled ,waiting for printer(probably offilne?)it was surely on-line ,though.so the third question: III)what is the driving idea behind apsfilter,how should it be installed,what parameters should i type in the installation mask? how should it be used?
