I am trying to set up a remote printer and need some help. I have a FreeBSD box running 2.1.6-RELEASE. I also have an HP5si with a JetDirect card in it. I have enabled TCP/IP on the printer, assigned it an ip, etc. Now, I want to print from the FreeBSD box to this printer. I have used the instructions in the handbook. I am just trying to print plain text, nothing fancy. The text gets to the printer, with one problem. At the end of a line of text, the printer does a newline, but not a carriage return. I have tried using an input filter, to no avail. Can you use an input filter on a remote printer? If not, any idea how I can get this to work? I really don't want to change the configuration of the printer, as it also serves the Novell LAN and the AS/400. Thanks, Allen Hyer System Administrator West Texas Rural Telephone
