RE: SPL problems

The printer descriptor is set for -LF. So that's OK. Besides, if I Just send an
ascii file to the printer, it comes out just fine (no extra linefeeds).  I have
a serial connection to a DMP130 not parallel. But I don't think that should
make a difference.

If you read my original message, the problem with linefeeds really seems to be
with an SPL related module.  From my startup file, I specifically set the
autolf feature off (-o1=-a).

As far as the printer being available, what happens is, if I start up the
computer with the printer off, and then turn the printer on a little while
later, SPL (or SPLMAN) never recognizes that the printer has become available.
So I send a file to print and nothing happens unless I specifically issue the
command SPLSTAT -p1=/p.  Then printing starts within seconds.

Thanks for your response. Hope you can shed some light!
