The HP Laserjet4 MIO is setup to talk to a PC/Novell Network/etc.... which ends each line in a text file with a <CR><LF>. Unix ends a text file line with ONLY an <LF>. The 'text' and 'raw' printer types are there to allow the printer to get around this. Any file sent to the 'text' printer will have <LF> to <CR><LF> translation performed. Text sent to the 'raw' printer will NOT have this translation performed! =============================================================================== Stephen F.
