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!!

Have you tried GUI or web based tool to configure CUPs? HP provides updated driver for Linux. Try installing updated version
