Yes, and I did that.

I still doesn't work. but curiously
if I print to printer 'dj' which has an
input filter, it does a part time
job. It prints the file completely
but then hangs before issuing the
formfeed on close.
Perhaps that's a hint?

Here is the printcap entry for 'dj'
dj
        :cm=Local Deskjet(LF->CR/LF)
        :sd=/var/spool/dj:mx#0:sh:fq:ff_separator#1:
        :lp=/dev/plp : if=/usr/PRIVATE/bin/LPRng/crlf_if

Cheers,
Helmut.
