i believe this problem is documented in the Complete book, the chapter on printing. from the book: "Put the folowing shell script in /usr/local/libexec/lpfilter:" #!/bin/sh printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\f" && exit 0 exit 2 actually, this is taken straight from the handbook, so u can check that out too. hope this helps. yui On Sun, 7 Nov 1999, Manfred Usselmann wrote: > I don't remember your original question, but staircase effect rings a bell: > This is the problem with the line termination.
