Hawkins" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Unix uses a LF at ends of lines. On the hp printers, a CR must be supplied as well. You need a printer filter of some type or another--i use magicfilter on debian (there's never been a printer directly hooked to my FreeBSD box). It's fairly easy to get .ps output running with ghostscript. After that, if you can't get plain text configured with a filter, you can use a2ps as your print command frick -- Prof. Richard E.
