Re: Printer Setup

["Craig R. Hodges" <chodges@Copernicus.Astronomers.org>]

With lpr as the print command in Netscape, my printer prints:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
	%%BoundingBox: 54 72 558 720
				%%Creator: Mozilla (NetScape) HTML -> PS	

and then starts feeding sheets. I have a HP Deskjet 682C which doesn't
understand postscript.
