A name of lp don't make a printer to print text files, it just save you to specify the printer (the -P option of lpr) > > I think that "lp" being the first entry makes it lpr's default; not > positive about that. It is not necessary be the first alias, it can be in any position, in my case I have: stylus-c65|lp|Epson Stylus C65:\ > > > /usr/ports/print/enscript* is nice for that, or lots of people use > > /usr/ports/print/apsfilter so they can send about anything to the > > printer and let it do the conversion. > > The printer should already know how to print text.

I know that all HP LaserJet support PCL and text, some models also support PostScript, I see you use rp="auto" for your HP LaserJet 4550N, I had only use rp=raw and I also know that can be rp=text (to convert CR -> CRLF) but I never used. maps _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
