CUPS prints jagged, stair-stepped text in RHEL
Issue
- Standard CUPS printer config produces only one line of output on HP LaserJet printer.
-
We have a text file that looks like the following when displayed on the terminal:
$ cat test.txt one two threebut when we print the file, it looks like this:
one two three -
We have configured the remote printer (HP) on the Linux server with the following command, but when we will print the files just it is printing one line:
# lpadmin -p LP323JF -E -v lpd://10.1.2.3/LP323JF -
Is there a way to pass the content to
unix2dosand then send it to printer with out changing the main execution command (cat <PCL file name> | lp -d<pcl printer name>).
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
- Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
