The following information is needed in order for us to do this: 1) Example printcap file containing entries for these printers. 2) Input and output filters for the listed printers. 3) A detailed printcap file description listing all of the octal escape codes we need to send to the printers for proper printing. The man pages have an abbreviated description which is inadequate for our needs. The main problem we are having at this time is finding the correct codes to map a CR to CR+LF. At this time everthing we have tried still causes anything sent to the printer to staircase off the side of the page. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Michael Vukovich PRA WASH.
