This is my /etc/printcap!


oki|lp|okidata laser:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sh:sd=var/spool/lpd/oki:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/okiif:

I have created the /var/spool/lpd/oki and chown to daemon.
This is the filter file I'm using.

printf "\033\&k2G" && cat && printf "\f" && exit 0
exit 2

When I print I still get the stair case effect!!!! 
My next problem is my printer only prints the first few  print requests
then when I send another print job it prints blank pages only a couple. 
Then I check the  que and it has been processed.   If the system is 
shutdown the printer will print a few more requests.   Then it will start
printing blank pages for each request.                                     
       


Thank you,
