Well, call me an idiot if you will, but print spooling under Unix is about my last piece of unexplored territory. And I can't work out why it won't do the job for me.
I have an IBM (Lexmark) Execjet II (4076) printer. But that's not really relevant - I really just want line printing jobs done, so the generic printcap I would've though would be fine. But it doesn't work - all I get are a couple of lines at best, then lots of blank pages if it's a long file. The cable and card are fine and it all works brilliantly under windows. This probably has an obvious answer, but what am I doing wrong? (catting to the lp devices gives the same result as using lpr to queue and print the job.) ... Stephen
