Printer set and format?
I have a network printer LaserJet 4050N on Sun Solaris Sun-Fire-408R.
When I lp text.lis, it printed out steps like indent lines.
When I unix2dos test.lis, it print out all right.
I tried to print a report from Banner Finance - FGRCTRL, and chose the the same printer with command line:
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint -pland -s 8 @ |/bin/lp -o nobanner
It only print out the title of the report, and everything else is just plain blank.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Fairly simple question, I think. Still trying to get my head around AIX print queues. Most of our problems seem to stem from print queues going down. This generates help-desk calls when users call up to get their queues started or to get rid of the emails that qdaemon sends them.

SYNOPSIS
directomatic -P <printdef> [-J jobtitle] [-o option=value [...]] [file]

together with a Foomatic printer definition file.

file The file to print.
Commands
Directomatic will print from standard input unless a file to print is specified on the command line. If your printer definition file is in
/etc/foomatic/direct or ~/.foomatic/direct you do not need to specify its path. Put a (instructions in the file) to redirect the output of
directomatic to your printer instead of standard output. To make normal users able to print this way add them to group lp and make sure the
