I have a sort-of-related printer setup question. I have an HP DeskJet 500
hooked up to the lpt0 port on my Freebsd system, and when I print
something, it
looks
like
this.
It is apparently sending a linefeed, but no carriage return at the end of
each line. I looked at the man page for printcap, but it was singularly
unilluminating. Is there some simple switch for printcap that will tell it
to send a <cr> with the <lf>?
Thanks.
