CUPS issue on Itanium

I have CUPS configured on one of my Itanium servers and have configured a default print. I'm able to print pdf files but when i try to print /etc/fstab the text does not wrap round, its just comes out in a single line at the top of the page. Can anyone give me some advice on how to resolve this issue?

The printer I'm using is a Canon irc3200n

Re: CUPS issue on Itanium

Shalom,

Open the cups configuration program (You don't indicate whether cups is running on HP-UX or Linux. Since you write in HP-UX you get an HP-UX answer). There should be settings that will enable you to force a carriage return line feed in text files.

If you have an enhanced text editor like emacs or gedit, you can use that to print and it should submit the carriage return line feed.

Further info requestd:
1) OS version uname -a
2) Model model
3) Version of CIFS swlist -l product | grep -i cifs

Re: CUPS issue on Itanium

CUPS is running on an HP Itanium server. To access CUPS i have been starting up Mozilla and connecting to it that way and as of yet have not found an option to force a carriage return. Is there a config file under /etc/cups I can edit to put this feature in?

The details you requested are below:-

uname -a
HP-UX lonita1 B.11.23 U ia64 3291668878 unlimited-user license
[lonita1] # model
ia64 hp server rx4640
[lonita1] # swlist -l product |grep -i cifs
CIFS-Client A.02.02 CIFS Client
CIFS-Development A.02.02.01 HP CIFS Server Source Code Files
CIFS-Server A.02.02.01 HP CIFS Server (Samba) File and Print Services

Re: CUPS issue on Itanium

I have got this to work the following way:-

configure cups for raw and this will print pdf files.

configure cups with PPD and this will print text files.

The annoying thing is that I was able to get this working in Fedora just using PPD and this only took 2 mins.
