Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The problem is in the filters, :if=...: The printer is expecting a formfeed to tell it to print the page and eject it. The print size is due to the font selected. Is the behavior the same for all three filters? ' Make a 2 page text file, one with about 90 lines in it. Call it 2page.txt. Try: lpr -Pascii 2page.txt lpr -Plp 2page.txt lpr -Praw 2page.txt Is the output the same for all three? You should get at least one page ejected for each lpr command, even if there is no formfeed. If none of the lpr commands work as you expect, and you want me to look, send the files: /home/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-ljet4l-letter-ascii-mono /home/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-ljet4l-letter-auto-mono /home/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-ljet4l-letter-raw If the files are shell scripts, I normally use: cat | mail -s "ljet4l filter" tomdean@ix.netcom.com If the files are not scripts, send the source. Try 'file '. This will tell you what kind of file it is. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
