i can print from wordperfect (the MS version running under win4lin and the
linux version), but i can't print text documents from the command line,
pine, etc.  Here's my /etc/printcap:

lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :rm=192.168.2.50:\
        :tr:\
        :rp=:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
        :lpd_bounce=true:

i've tried testing the printer with printtool, and the postscript test
works fine.  However, the ASCII test only prints the line

If this is all you can see, try enabling 'Fix stair-stepping text' in
printtool . . .

which i have done, but still no go.  if anyone has any thoughts as to
where i should start looking, i'd appreciate it.
