Hi admins..
this is another late summary, excuse me for this too..
the answer of Ernest LaBonte is very very valuable...
thank you very much Mr LaBonte...
I just replaced la324of filter with the pcfof +Cgeneric_ansi.pcf and
problem disappeared...
Ernest's answer is the following;
> Hello,
>
> Try the generic ANSI print queue. The pcfof print filter doesn't have
> have the internal buffer restrictions that the la324of print filter has.
> Change the printcap entry to use the following:
>
> :if=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Cgeneric_ansi.pcf:\
> :of=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Cgeneric_ansi.pcf:\
>
> If Oracle provides all the file formatting then a print filter isn't
> necessary. You can verify this by entering the command lpr -Pmali02 -x
file.
> If this works you can remove the printcap :if= entry, and change the :of=
> to :of=/usr/lbin/xf:\. The xf print filter uses /bin/cat to pass the file
