Is there such an option? I got around it by writing a filter script for my
"raw" queue which wraps text to the page width and paginates it with page
numbers and a header including the file name (see attached).
To use it you need your "raw" printcap entry to say this:
:pr=/usr/local/bin/foldpr:pw#78:\
though you'll set the nn in the pw#nn bit to however many columns your printer
can fit across the page in its default fixed-width font pitch size, and you
might need to change the defaults at the top of the foldpr script too.
You invoke it like this
lpr -Praw -Fp myfile.txt
It's only a partial solution I admit. It was of use to me because I couldn't
print anything reliably from Linux on my HPLJ IIID apart from raw ascii text
until I upgraded the memory (anybody know why apsfilter can't tell when the
printer buffer is full?).
