Subject:   printing awfully slow...
Message-ID:  <200002181437.OAA08829@mweb.worldy.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have a dos print which is painfully slow printing
it prints 3 lines, waits 30 seconds,  then another 30 seconds...
the command I type is "cat file | lp<CR>"
this is my /etc/printcap


inkjet|lp|local line printer:\
	:sh:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/output/inkjet:\
	:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:

the if-simple program is apparently needed to solve the dos CR error
that file is;
 
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
exit 2

I got this stuff from the FreeBSD manual


Thanks

Dave Banning
