re: printing signs on the command line

I've been doing some reading on a2ps and found in /etc/a2ps.cfg a user option for lp which is intended to provide services for line printers of which this Panasonic KX-P1123 decidedly is. So I put the parameters for the lp command into a script file with a2ps and figure to run it and see if it wastes paper again. I need to find some way to tell a2ps it doesn't have a laser or other exotic printer to use permanently. Maybe I can put that into .a2psrc I have to read up on that and find out. The a2ps filter wastes lots of paper and lpr and lp when I cat a file to them with a pipe seem to do better in terms of that but they don't print completely correctly. Lots of characters stripped out and some ascii getting through.
