No Luck. I found only an enscript text filter. I tried it and it
convert testprint to the ghostscript instructions and printed these but
did nothing for the ASCII file when I tried lp printtest. I removed the
filter as there is no problem printing from kde - that is, printing text
generated in kde. I tried opening a terminal in kde and running lp
printtest from the terminal. It didn't work.
