I have a HP lj1100 laserjet printer. It works correctly on SuSE 8.0, but on Debian Woody I still haven't sorted out the linefeed/cret correctly. I am getting the famous staircase effect.
SuSE 8.0 uses (BSD ?) lpr with a few bits of ghostscript invoked by printcap. Before I try copying extracts from the one into the other, am I going about it the right way, or did I miss something ? I prefer lpr to the other spooling systems because there are more references to it in my various books. However, this printer seems to be too modern for them. I am not sure whether such things as ghostscript and foomatic should be used. I have been reading many accounts of the various available systems for mail spoolers, but the variety available is confusing. I would prefer to use Debian, if I can, because of the synaptic and apt-get for sorting out dependencies. I need to know what things to chose out of the numerous competing options.
