Hi all? I'm still battling with this. I have lpd, magicfilter, et al, installed. I'm able to print from various programs without problems, however, when I print plain ascii text, the printer prints just fine, but I need to manually eject the page. I've tried to set my printcap up to send a form feed when done by inserting 'ff', but that hasn't panned out. Anyway, I'm sure if I want that because ps files are ejected normally.
I've been poking around in the input filters supplied with magicfilter, and I noticed that the default filter uses recode like so: # Default entry for normal (text) files. This must be the last entry! # ===================================================================== # Please adjust recode's codepage conversion manually according to # your # local needs. We apologize for the inconveniences... # default filter /usr/bin/recode --silent us..ibmpc Actually the 'us' was originally 'latin1'. I've left the file pretty much alone with the exception of editing to replace 'pdftops' with 'pdf2ps' as it's named on my system. So I figure that maybe the solution to my problem lays somewhere in recode, although searching through the recode docs is beginning to change my mind. Is anyone doing anything special to print plain ascii text on a woody system running lpd, magicfilter, etc.? TIA! -- Mark Wagnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
