I have been trying to print from my freebsd 4.0 box to this printer and
keep getting the dreaded staggered text..i.e.
!"#$%&'()*+,-./01234
"#$%&'()*+,-./012345
#$%&'()*+,-./0123456
I followed the directions in the printing section of the handbook and set
up my print filter as such
#!/bin/sh
#
#
# Treat LF as CR+LF:
#
printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2
and that file is executable.
[jason@welsh]$ ls -al /usr/local/libexec/if-simple
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 211 Aug 26 12:53
/usr/local/libexec/if-simple
my /etc/printcap contains
#
lp|local line printer:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
#
# Sample remote printer. The physical printer is on machine "lphost".
any suggestions?
regards,
Jason
