I have DeskJet 540 printer attached to HP JetDirect EX Plus printserver on our
local LAN.
In /etc/printcap (see attachment) I have path to hpif input filter.
hpexp is a host name for printserver in /etc/hosts.
In filter are only lines that should convert LF to CR+LF, but when I try to prin
t something, I have to push FF button on the printer and I'm getting printout wi
th "staircase" effect.

cat /usr/local/libexec/hpif
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033&k2G" && cat && exit 0
exit 2

hpif has mode 0777, so what I'm doing wrong?
