The printer is a Panasonic something-or-other, Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 3p clone. It's NOT postscript. It's also quite happy with straight ascii, as I said... The filter is a simple (~5 lines) c program that reads stdin and writes to stdout, except for appending a cr after every lf. Also, as I said, this works fine too, *provided* I'm printing directly to /dev/lpt0, and not pointing my output at lpr... While we're on the printers topic, I have another box (FBSD2.2.5) that works great, although the lpr code also seems incompatible with this printer... My first thought was to disable the burst headers, since straight ascii seems ok, but I cant get the "sh" to actually "take"... I see that the default is "false" (per man). Using that as my basis, I have tried: sh=TRUE sh=true sh=1 sh=0 (just in case FBSD had that weird 1/0 reversal thing) Of course, these commands were wrapped in colons on both sides, and since I am mentioning it here, they (obviously) obviously didn't work - no matter how i set sh, those burst pages keep on coming! Anyone have any experience with the sh param? How should I set it to be "true"??? J.A.
