I'm trying to print C source code on my epson LQ-500 martix printer. I'm having quite a few problems. "{" are showing as weird characters (ae squeezed into one char), "}", "[" and "]" are also showing curiously on the printer. I only have the following filter: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # # Makes a FF (form feed) after printing. /bin/cat && printf "\f" && exit 0 exit 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is weird. This is the printcap entry: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # $Id: printcap,v 1.5.2.1 1998/02/07 19:17:32 ache Exp $ lp|local line printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpr/if-epson: # :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpr/if-raven: ps|Canon|Con BJC-4300:\ :sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/canon:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpr/if-canon:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spidey How 'bout a little ride through your own world? http://www.JSP.UMontreal.CA/~beaupran/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
