I've posted a number of transition issues we encounter going from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6. Today's question is another such niggle.

Given - sourcefile.ext is a text file that is submitted to a compile process.
        - someprint is a printer defined in cups

If we lp -d someprint sourcefile.ext on the CentOS 5 system, the tab characters cause 7 spaces in the printed text. When we lp -d someprint sourcefile.ext on the CentOS 6 system, only 1 space appears in the printed text.

If we a2ps -P someprint sourcefile.ext on the CentOS system, the tabs produce 7 spaces in the printed text. The CentOS 5 system gives us a segmentation fault on a2ps, but that is an anomaly of that particular system previously discussed here.

I've looked at lpoptions and cups documentation and am not finding clues as to where one might control the "throw weight" of the tab character. Anybody got a pointer?
