C. Berkeley Open Computing Facility Lines: 21 Message-ID: <3plcn3$e68@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: maelstrom-ether.berkeley.edu I'm running FreeBSD 2.0R with a Canon BJ-300 on lpt0. Whenever I print a file the output is such that it looks as if it is trying to print out 132-column data on an 80-column printer (yes, it is an 80-column printer). I have edited /etc/printcap and placed pw#80 in it, but it doesn't respond to that. (It is /dev/lp, BTW.) Any ideas on how to fix this printer? -Geordan -- +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ |Geordan Rosario.
