hi,
multiple possibilities:
on the command line: 'lpr -Fl -P<printer> or lpr -l -P<printer>
in the printcap: 'default_format=l' (or 'global' in
the lpd.conf file with the same entry)
(this works only on the client, the machine that creates the controlfile)
do the translation for incoming jobs on the printserver:
'translate_incoming_format=fl' (in the printcap or the lpd.conf file)
