The only problem is the 'staircase effect' like described in the handbook. I modify the 'printcap' and create an 'hpif' file but always the staircase. I've tried the hpif with: hpif <file to print |lp, and that command works well. It seems that the filter is not used by printcap. Has anybody an idea , is this a problem of remote printer? Thanks for help. D. Betaille
