You need to install a print filter that translates Unix newlines to DOS carriage-return newlines - or set the printer to treate newline as a carriage-return newline. If you want to make handling all kinds of files simple, I recommend the magicfilter port, as it is a lightweight solution that works well with ascii printers. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
