That was the Question:
Hello managers,
I configure a DEC 3000 OSF/1 to print on a remote print
server (a laser 4), this is the printcap file:
# Printer connected to the network
lp|lp0|0|laserIV:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=:\
:rm=printer.my.domain:\
:rp=printer.my.domain:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
:mx#0:
It's printing well from graphical mode selecting with the mouse the
information that I want to print, but when I issue the command:
#lpr -h file.txt
file.txt's content is printed in just one line (it doesn't make
a carrier return). I haven't found a flag to modify in the printcap
file. I don't have any manual just the CD where I found some
information but finally makes reference to the manuals again, have
you had any experience like that, or do you know where can I find
information about it?
Thanks in advance.
Answer:
There are two queues for those printers, raw and text. The change was:
In the /etc/printcap file
# Printer connected to the network
lp|lp0|0|laserIV:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=:\
:rm=printer.my.domain:\
:rp=text:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
:mx#0:
Note the rp=text not rp=printer.my.domain, I was wrong.
Sorry I couldn't check with rp=raw, the printer doesn't manage Poscript
format.
