Printing from TRU64 5.1B

When trying to print from TRU64 5.1B on a Xerox Phaser 3310 Printer, it's printing only the first two lines. There is no option to enable LPD on the Printer. How can I make the printing work ?

The Printcap file is as follows,

gardens|lp14|GARDENS:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp14err:\
:lp=/:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/lpf:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:rm=gar1:\
:rp=text:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd14:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

Tried rp with RAW also.

This is rather confusing.
You say that there is no way to enable lpd on the printer.
But the printcap entry is configured to work with lpd (rm and rp)

Please read also chapter 8 of the "System Administration Manual" (pointer follows)
It explains how to configure TCP/IP printing

On the Printer there is a setting to enable LPD which was not available on XEROX 3300 Model.

The Problem got resolved when changed Auto Cr to LF + CR . (Default is only LF) on Xerox Phaser printer.

Check if tcp/ip printing is possible. If so configure the correct printfilter (depending on compatibility).
