Very Computer

G'day all,
  I had setup the /etc/printcap on SunOS4.1.3 for the HP lasterjet 5MP.
  Although the ps files are printed well, the text file can't be printed
  well. It seemed that the printer miss the LF and CR.

  Can anyone setup a filter for it?

  Thank for your reply in advance.
Best regards,
  Lepidus.

I guess you used both sb and sh in your printcap. That does not work. I
think it's a bug.
Remove one fo them

if you cant find a filter send the ESC code that will make the printer
send a LF/CR when it receives a LF. Not sure what the code is, my book
isn't with me. I'll post the Code sequence later the afternoon if needed.
Its will be a PCL5 code.

OK, the PCL5 codes are as follows:

ESC & k 0 G will make CR=CR, LF=LF, FF=FF
ESC & k 1 G will make CR=CR+LF, LF=LF, FF=FF
ESC & k 2 G will make CR=CR, LF=CR+LF, FF=CR+FF
ESC & k 3 G will make CR=CR+LF, LF=CR+LF, FF=CR+FF

So if you can't find a filter "or" UNIX2DOS and don't want to fiddle
around, send the appropriate code to the printer and let it do all
the conversions for you!!!
