The problem is the spooling, which looses the first charcter of a sent charcter sequence. Example: Normally i need to send following to set the hpdjet500 printer for CR+LF printf "\033&2kG" In my case it must look like this: printf " \n\033&2kG" The same thing happens to the first character of a file sent to spooler with the Cat command or more command. Any idea? Think of hardware conflict?
