I know that printing on Linux is somewhat of an art form, but I
have a fairly simple problem. I used the following command to
configure a networked printer (HP LaserJet 8150):
lpadmin -p name -E -v socket://name -m laserjet.ppd -u allow:all -
u deny:none
This added and enabled the printer, and I can print to it using the
print command from within a GUI application and PostScript
utilities like enscript. However, printing simple text files from
the command line using lpr or lp produces undesirable output that
looks like this:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
It seems rather obvious that the printer is expecting carriage
returns and not getting any. What is the "right" way to fix this
using CUPS, which "owns" the /etc/printcap file. I can't be the
first one to run into this issue...
Thanks,
Alfred
I would use printconf instead of lpadmin. It sets up all the
necessary filters.
