# Could you tell me exactly how to fix the stairstepping effect when using lpr?
You have two ways of fixing it. Set the jumpers on the printer
to translate a LF to a CR/LF. Or setup an input filter (if=)
in your /etc/printcap file. If you pick the latter it should
contain a line similar to:
sed -e 's/$/^M/'
Note to get the Control-m (^M) into the filter script (and if
you are using vi) you will need to go into insert mode and
type Control-v Control-m.
