Data Printing problems
I am not able to print plain text in a correct manner.
When I issue the command "lp -ddestination_printer myfile.txt" the printer prints a page with the following contents:

Feb 24 11:26 2005 myfile.txt Page 1
## Configured using SAM by root on Tue

The line beginning with "##" appears just behind and below the "1" (I was not able to edit it as it appears on paper). The rest is blank

I configured the printer for a HP-UX/Oracle system using SAM. Printing PS is OK, but when I try to print plain text, NO WAY.

I guess it has something to do with the printer configuration file and with a failure to handle the carriage return...

Thank you for your help!!
