Hi All:

I have configured HP laserjet printer on my RH AS3.0, lpr works fine.. but when I try to print text file, it's not printing it in right way, it prints something like following.

I googled for this and understood that I need to add filter for this, with if=filter name in /etc/printcap file, I have tried that also but no luck, when we add this entry in the /etc/printcap file, do we need to tell cups that if=filter is your input file? or it will update this on-the-fly ? Restarting cups is removing this entry from printcap and making it filterless.

Please help! help!!
