Gidday all,
I have an ancient DEC LA120 dotmatrix serial printer which is to be
connected via a print server to our Compaq Tru64 Unix system. The connection
prints via a printcap entry;
lp7| Network printer on Network Print Server p-hind7:\
:lp=:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp7:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp7/log:\
:rm=p-hind7:\
:rp=pr3:
When the print job is sent to the printer it staircases. In other words it
is only doing a linefeed while I need it to do a carriage-return/linefeed
combination.
I have tried everything I can think of, filters I have don't alter the
output. There is no lpd.conf entry (that I recognised) that would assist. I
just hope that perhaps somebody could offer a suggestion as to how do this
conversion.
The LA120 is is a really dumb printer and can barely understand Xon/Xoff.
The print server doesn't offer this conversion either.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
