Subject: printing linux files
Date: Tue, 8 Dec 1998 21:05:07 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96.981208205915.325B-100000@darkstar.taconic.net> (raw)

Can anyone help me with a printing problem?
My printer apparently requires both a CR and an LF at the end of every
line, and while it may have a selectable feature to change that, I would
like to leave the printer settings alone. I use it in DOS regularly too.
When I use LPR in Linux to print a text file, say a message received in
Pine or a "print to a local file" item from Lynx, the printer malfunctions
because only an LF appears at the end of each line. I have read a lot of
documentation about LPR, PR, and the like, but find no discussion of this
end-of-line convention. Does anybody know how to tell LPR (or some other
demon (pun intended)) to please use a CR as well as an LF on each line?
