configuring a network printer on HP-UX 11i

I have some problems printing on a network printer. I have configured a network printer like a remote printer in SAM. I have inserted the name, the ip-address and a remote name.
When I print a text file with lp command the printer prints the file whitout the CR: when starts a new line it begins to write from the next column in which finished the previous line.
If I print a pdf file the printer dosn't start to write from the first column of the paper sheet but more on the right.
Which parameters do I have to set and where can I set them?

Thanks

Stefano

Hi there.
What about reading the man pages for lp ?
Have you checked the modelscripts for your printer ? Check the options for lp in the /etc/lp/interfaces. This is where the scripts for your printers are stored.
Next :
why not use jetadmin to install a network printer ? Makes your live easier.
You should also try hpwebjetadmin daemon on HP-UX and a browser to check your printers.
