I have a question regarding this sort of thing also....I get output from
my Deskjet 500, but the output doesn't do a CR/LF at the end of lines...
it only drops down one line and starts printing at the same horizontal
column that it left off in. (Hence, I only get 80 chars per sheet--not
very efficient. :)
My question is: Is there a config file in Linux to set this in? Or
do I need to change dip switches on the printer. (Can't find my doggone
printer manual, so I don't know if there's a switch for this or not.)
Obviously this has something to do with DOS and UNIX using different line-
termination characterrs...it prints fine when I'm running DOS from
another partition.
