Hi,
I configured a HPLaserJet Serie II printer in text mode. My /etc/printcap
entry is :
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database. See printcap(5).
# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
# your own filters. See /etc/filter.ps, /etc/filter.pcl and
# the printcap(5) manual page for further details.
lp|LaserJetSerieII entry:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
Text files are printed with the script: cat $1 | unix2dos | lpr -Plp
It works, but the first text line generates an anomaly: a fist page is
ejected with some erratic characters on its head, then the text is
correctely printed from line 2 to end on next sheets.
Have HP printers particular features ?
Which parameters do I need to set into the printcap file ? reading the
printcap man pages gave me no solution.
Did anybody solve this soon ?
Thanks for any help.
