Hi!
I'm trying to print C source code on my epson LQ-500 martix printer. I'm
having quite a few problems. "{" are showing as weird characters (ae
squeezed into one char), "}", "[" and "]" are also showing curiously on
the printer.
I only have the following filter:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Makes a FF (form feed) after printing.
/bin/cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
exit 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is weird. This is the printcap entry:
