(almost > like a separator page) Check what you've got for :if= in /etc/printcap. You're probably sending to a filter that adds an extra form feed at the end of the document. That's what you want for printing files you create in vi, but not what you want for wp. For wp you want a raw filter. Something like: $ cat /usr/local/libexec/rawif #! /bin/sh # # rawif: lpr input filter # this is a raw device - users must set the printer state # (eg. using PCL) in their print file to get reasonable output. /bin/cat && exit 0 exit 2 So set up a new printcap entry that uses :if=/usr/local/libexec/rawif and aim your wp output at it. -- Kevin Street street@iName.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
