Does anyone have a good filter or can someone suggest a >place to look for one? If you're willing to deal with reading your printer documentation a little, I have a filter written for a Deskjet 500. You may have to modify it just slightly, but given that it's an HP printer, even that may not happen. Just make sure you have your printer manual around. Look somewhere in the back for the printer escape codes that enable LF->CR+LF and CR+LF->CR+LF translation. (Okay, so the second one is a complete lack of translation...) The print filter is available at: ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/tmonroe/newpsfilter The code is commented to death. :) Read it before you install it. -- Tony Monroe, in a nice white wine sauce with couscous tmonroe@csua.berkeley.edu ObURL: http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~tmonroe Chief Squid, Tony's SquidWarez Incorporated / CSUA Secretary, Fall 1996 Proprietor of Dingbat Wizwarp's Transmutation Tavern and Alteration Apothecary
