The installation was tricky, but it's there. However, I'm experienceing a problem I had previously under Linux. When I pipe straight text to my HP Deskjet 500 on paralleldevice /dev/lpa0, the printer prints one line of text, then spits out numerous blank pages before quitting. Someone once mailed me a script file that set up some kind of filter that made this work correctly, but it's long been lost. If anyone has a clue as to how to fix this, I'd appreciate some e-mail. Thanks. Joe Dougherty University of North Florida jdough@unf6.cis.unf.edu (preferred) cop0812@unf1vm.cis.unf.edu I don't speak for anyone but myself.
