I have two LPD errors
1. I see two characters being replaced by strings on the hard copy (the {=
=C3=A2}
below is an {a^}). This happens on the first page and not on following
pages.
instead of " I get:  =C3=A2\200\234 (235 for trailing ")
instead of ' I get:  =C3=A2\200\231
2. All non-english characters get garbled, on all pages. These are
characters like =C3=A7, =C3=B6, etc.

With these two seemingly separate errors, I can't figure out whether this i=
s
an lpr or enscript error.

* The file being sent through lpr is a simple text file.
* /etc/printcap entry for default printer is:
   lp|hp2100|HP 2100TN:\
   :rm=3D192.168.1.9:rp=3Draw:\
   :if=3D/usr/local/libexec/filters/psif:\
   :lf=3D/var/log/lpd-filter-errs:\
   :sd=3D/var/spool/lpd/hp2100:\
   :mx=3D0:sh:
* /var/log/lpd-filter-errs shows: [ 4 pages * 1 copy ] left in -  \  59
lines were wrapped  \  7 non-printable characters
* filetrs/psif is also very basic:
#!/bin/sh
IFS=3D"" read -r first_line
first_two_chars=3D`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
case "$first_two_chars" in
%!)
    # %! : PostScript job, print it.
    echo "$first_line" && cat && exit 0
    exit 2
    ;;
*)
    # otherwise, format with enscript
    ( echo "$first_line"; cat ) | /usr/local/bin/enscript -o - && exit 0
    exit 2
    ;;
esac
