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. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
