Greetings...
I have a printer hooked up to a 2.2.5R box. Since this
printer needs crlf rather than just lf, I wrote a filter and
compiled it down. If I lptest | crlffilter > /dev/lpt0, all is
well, the output is perfect. BUT...
No matter what I do to printcap, if I use lpr, the output
consists of 11 characters (probably an attempt to place the word
"root" on the page) on the first page, thus:
t t
r rrr oooo o
All pages which follow this first one are blank.
I have tried specifying this filter as both "if" and "of",
and am now at a loss. This particular box was running NT
this morning, with all hardware untouched, including the
printer (so I *know* it's ok!).
Help.
TIA
