Hi

I'm trying to set up my HP DeskJet 500 printer off a FreeBSD box. It
connected to the parallel port, and I'm using the following
/etc/printcap entry :

lp|djet500:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:sf:fs#2020:

Unfortunately, I can't get the printer to print text properly. The Deskjet
needs a CRLF combination to do a what UN*X does with just the LF. I tried
the above `fs' entry to try and cure the problem, but it still doesn't
work. What do I need to do to get this working?

Thanks

Gary
