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? Chuck -- Second Sight Software Now using Linux and PINE
