Does anyone know of
a way to change the font that is printed out when you print a text file
(lpr -Pprintername filename) from a terminal?
Or if its
possible?
I'm in console mode
(not X windows). I'm using Red Hat 9 with CUPS.
I'm upgrading a Red
Hat 5.2 machine which seems to have a completely different font that prints from
which RH 9 prints.
The reason for
upgrading the 5.2 machine is to also upgrade a database that issues lpr commands
to print reports. The reports are HUBAR! (HOSED UP BEYOND ALL
RECOGNITION), and there's too many to reformat.
I noticed the
Printer Configuration utility program in X that will allow you to edit a
printer and in the Queue Options tab change the cpi and lpi (will not let me
change font type) which will get the font close to the same size but
there's still a noticable difference in the Font type thats
printed.
Thanks,
Richard
