Cyrus,

regarding text file printing, I always converted the text file to postscript
before printing and then it always worked fine.

Try

/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint <file> | lp -d<printer>

That should do the trick.  For more information (setting page orientation,
point size, etc.), try "man postprint".

The background is that the printers behave "the DOS way" by default which
requires CR/NL at the end of lines.  There is also some other way to fix it
by directly putting some escape sequence into the script through which all
output to the printer is filtered but I don't remember exactly.  I could
find that out if you want.

I don't know if JetAdmin fixes these problems, but I doubt it.

Regards,
Sascha Wildner
