To this point we have not been able to stop the staircase effect from happening every time we print. We down-loaded the handbook and followed the instructions under the printing section and have gotten nowhere. The input filter does not appear to work (we used the exapmle filter included in the handbook and many modifications), and we have tried setting CRMOD and several other fixes in the printcap file as well. Any suggestions that we might try? Our only other recourse we be to get Linux or Solaris, since none of us have the time to waste writing our own code to get around this problem. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks, Michael Vukovich PRA Wash. DC 703 243 6613 mjv@photon.com
