I got the printer printing. It;s doing pdf and html fine. I tried doing lpr -Psmurf /etc/printcap and it would not do the carriage returns. Anybody ever have a problem with pure text files? smurf:cm=Network Printer smurf :lp=smurf.montiehouse.com%9100 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P :ifhp=model=hp2100,status@ :sh :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp :mx#0 Marcel Kunath
