- I have networked a PC to my NeXTstation at home using FTP softwares
- PC/TCP. I am having problems printing to my NeXT printer from Microsoft
- windows 3.1 because windows postscript interpreter likes to put a Ctrl-D
- at the begining and ending of each file it sends out. If I print to a file
- and remove the first ctrl-d and then send it to the printer it prints just
- fine. I found a reference to unix printing in a readme file in windows
- that said if I put the following statement in my win.ini file under the
- printer definition it would remove the ctrl-d's "CtrlD=0" but this does
- not seem to work.
-
- Has anyone had this problem before or know what I am doing wrong? Can I
- put a filter in my /etc/printcap to strip any ctrl-d's out of the print
- stream?
