I recently said, with respect to printing on HP LaserJet printers: % BTW, you don't need to worry about converting text to postscript for % your HP printer; they all default to working like a standard HP printer % until they see something that looks like a postscript job. Davice Kelly replied: > All of them I've tripped upon lately insist on \r\n line termination. There is a simple escape sequence you can send to the HP to tell it text lines are terminated with \n only. A simple filter in your printcap will allow you to send this escape sequence at the begging of a print job, and reset the printer at the end. This will restore the default setup for any *other* systems that may be using the printer as well. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
