Printing problem with Xerox printer

[Vikas_19]

Dear gurus,

I am having problem in configuring a Xerox printer on Tru64 (os version 5.0) server. The printer model is "Xerox Copier/Fax DC 250 ST" and it is having "Xerox Network interface". The printer queue configuration in /etc/printcap file is as below:

------------/etc/printcap extracts----------
# (29 Apr 05) . (:sin024p0:)
sin024p0:\
:ct=remote:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/errors/sin024p0.err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=sin024p0.sin.pacific.xyzcomp.com:\
:rp=lp:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/sin024p0:
-------------------------------------------

The problem is that the printout of any text file is not coming left aligned. Rather is it distributed. A sample of the print is attached herewith. I think it has something to do with "CR carriage return" character.

Any suggestion to overcome this problem will be great help.

Best regards,
Vikas

Hi,

your suspicion with the missing CR is correct. Use an output filter. There is one with *crlf* in /usr/lbin

I am having following Output filters in my tru64 server. Could you please guide me which one I should use to suppress Carriage return CR error as mentioned in original problem.

sin1002:/usr/lbin # ls *of

I think this will probably work for you as an 'of' line in your printcap entry:

:of=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Cgeneric_text.pcf:\
