- Hi Folks !
- I have an old IBM Proprinter connected to lpt1 (/dev/lp1). But when ever I
- print a Linux textfile with cat file > /dev/lp1 the output does'nt have
- LF's and looks like :
-
- Line 1
- Line 2
- Line 3
- etc.
-
- An msdos file copied to the linux-fs with mcopy comes out correctly, but in
- emacs each line has a ^M at the end.
-
- My /etc/pritcap is very primitive, because I don't have any man's :
- #lp|panasonic:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/usr/spool/lp/panasonic:lf=/usr/bin/mail:mc#1:\
- # ft=$$c$$p$$r$$f:hl#2:fl#3:ht=$$c$$n$$r$$t:sh:

- Any help out there linux gurus ?
-
- Thx in advance, and sorry if it is a FAQ. But I haven't found any
