Hi all, This I think should be simple ...
I have an old dot matrix printer - ugly, slow, but cheap and handles lineflow. When I set it up with CUPS, I used the Epson driver, but that seems to insist on using Postscript - converts my text file to Postscript and then renders it using Ghostscript (presumably) to print. This slows things down, and the output is even uglier (IMHO) than the native printer font (which is matched to the resolution. I then set it to Raw, but that ignores page size; it just keeps going over the perforations. Is there some good way to get the best of both worlds? I want my pages neatly broken at the perforations, and I'd rather the system kept the required records, so that after every job, the printer is lined up at the top of the next page. Page numbers and filename headers would be nice too, though I think emacs adds its own, and I don't want two - I guess 2 queues would solve that. The 'pr' utility looks like it will do some of what I want - can I just install that as a filter somewhere? Oh - and I like the CUPS networking stuff; I'd rather not leave that behind if possible. Am I asking the impossible here? Any pointers on FMs to R, FAQs, HOWTOs etc would be most welcome. Thanks, Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
