Printing on a line printer through HP-UX 11i

Hi Guys,

I have a problem printing through HP-UX 11i on Dataproducts LB600 line printer. It is connected to a printserver and it prints on just one line. I guess there is no CR at the end of LF, so I added CR to the LF through the printer console and also modified the printer interface file to include the echo "\n\r"
If another dot matrix printer is connected to this printserver (on same parallel port) it works just fine. Yes, initially the end-of-job problem got me stuck for a while on this DMP which was rectified after I used echo "\f\c"

Any suggestions and feedback are highly appreciated.

Cheers
Anil
