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 J.A.
