RE: [TCLUG:7538] printing (print filter!) problems



        I built a new print queue, using RH printtool.
        I found that if I don't specify a print filter, I can print reports!
        Only problem now is, without a print filter (AFAIK) I can't do
CR->CR/LF translation. :(
        so reports now print fine... stepping right off the side of the page. ;(

how do I get the CR->CR/LF translation, w/out a print filter? here's my
textonly.cfg:

[root@office /tmp]# cat /var/spool/lpd/osas/textonly.cfg 
#
# text-only printing options for printing on this queue
# Generated by PRINTTOOL, do not modify.
#
TEXTONLYOPTIONS=
CRLFTRANS=1
TEXT_SEND_EOF=NO

so it would seem to indicate that the conversion should take place; but I
guess this file isn't invoked w/out the filter file.

is there something I can put in /etc/printcap? how do I put it in, when my
printcap is generated by printtool?

thanks,
