 OK, I've got it to where it will at least print now.  However, I'm
getting
major stair stepping and when I try to use the filter, I just get page
after
page of nothing.

Here is my printcap file and my filter.  I'm hoping I'm just missing a
line
in the printcap.

Cheers,

Tom

At Fri, 30 Jun 2000 it looks like Tom DeSot composed:


TD-->I've tried several printcap files and it never prints anything out.
When I
TD-->look at my print debug files it tells me it can't resolve the host.
Funny

what I had
TD-->just tried to print from lpr.
TD-->
TD-->Am I missing something in my printcap file to force the page feed?
Has
TD-->anyone had this experience and found that it just won't work?
TD-->
TD-->I'd really appreciate any help that could be given.


Can we see the printcap files with some comments on what happened
with each ? 

Are you pointing to the printer by name or IP address ? Same network
? Can you "ping" the printer by name ? or by number ?
