>Environment:
I want to use the lpf to print iso 8859-1 chars on my HP Deskjet.
>Description:
The Text Filter /usr/libexec/lpr/lpf does not handle
ISO 8859-1 Characters correctly. Better, it does not
handle any chars with an ascii value greater than 127.
>How-To-Repeat:
Print some text with chars > 127.
>Fix:
The fix is very easy. The variable 'ch' in the source file
/usr/src/usr.sbin/lpr/filters/lpf.c has to declared as an
int instead of a char.
