Dear Mr/Ms FAQ,
I have some little suggested change to the FreeBSD handbook,
specifically concerning HP printers. In section 7.4.2.2,
in your sample if-simple, you end with a printf "\f".
The disadvantage of this is if it should just happen that the
printed page ended exactly at the end of the page, then in addition
you get another blank page printed. (Yes, this really happened
to me, usually when I used the dvilj program.)
I find that the sequence printf "\033&l0H" works a lot better - it
flushes out the present page, only printing if there is actually
stuff on it.
In fact, I use the hpif described in 7.6.1.3 - again I use this
new sequence.
Just a little suggestion to a really excellent handbook to a really
excellent product.
