Does anyone has a proper printer filter for a HP Deskjet printer. 2. In the /etc/printcap entry for my printer using lpa0 I have used a :fs#0000020: entry to set LF - CR/LF translation on. But this doesn't seem to work. Is this only valid for a tty? If not how do I go about setting LF -CR/LF translation on for a lpa interface? I don't want to, but I could write the code for a daemon and a client process that would handle the translation and do a dump to the /dev/lpa0 device file. This is a way I could get around my ignorance and print text files.
