I know that printing on Linux is somewhat of an art form, but I have a fairly simple problem. I used the following command to configure a networked printer (HP LaserJet 8150):
lpadmin -p name -E -v socket://name -m laserjet.ppd -u allow:all - u deny:none
This added and enabled the printer, and I can print to it using the print command from within a GUI application and PostScript utilities like enscript. However, printing simple text files from the command line using lpr or lp produces undesirable output that looks like this:
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
It seems rather obvious that the printer is expecting carriage returns and not getting any. What is the "right" way to fix this using CUPS, which "owns" the /etc/printcap file. I can't be the first one to run into this issue...
Thanks, Alfred
