Hi guys,
I got so many responses that I won't mention names, just a thanks to all who
took the time.
The most common response was to use JetAdmin, which I didn't want to at
first, but this ended up being the only thing that worked.
Other responses included using:
lpadmin -p foo -s bar!text or raw
-I option with any instead of ps or simple
also a few people suggested changing the setting on the printer itself by
enabling an option called: 'Append CR
to LF?' I didn't try that, but it might help some one else.
thanks again
Original question:
--------------------
Hi all,
I am running 2.6 and am trying to print to an HP LaserJet5 si mx. I have
added the printer with the command: lpadmin -p foo -s bar!bar -I ps -T ps
This allows me to print ps files, but won't print my ascii text files
correctly.
I also tried adding simple to the -I option, but it doesn't help.
What am I missing?
