Staircase problem by printing

[Johan den Boer]

Hello,

I have a problem by printing to a xerox printer. I need a script to translate a
LF to a CR/LF. Has anyone a script ?

Thanks,

regards

Hi
The HP printers have a printer setting to do this translation automatically (add CR to LF). I do not know if the Xerox have, but check the manual to see if it does.

Hi,

Filter the printing command through 'ux2dos'.

Hi:

Onr very simple solution is to simply filter through awk within your interface file; nothing more than this:
awk '{printf("%s\r\n",$0)}'

Hello,

A number of printers have a setting to translate the LF to CR/LF if they sense the print file is an ascii file. If you don't find that then I believe Eugen's suggestion to use ux2dos is a good one. Do something like ux2dos file | lp -dprinter

Because "lpr" is a wrapper, usually I just manually add the ux2dos command into the pipe and tell users to use lpr instead of lp when printing text.
