Hi all!
What a silly, silly question I have. (An easy one to make everyone feel good
on a Friday.)
We are printing out a whole bunch of reports from our database, and are
unable to adjust the left margin in the database (gotta love the db
manager!). So ... we thought we'd add a printcap entry with a filter to
indent printing by default on this printer. According to the man pages, it
looks as simple as adding a filter entry, or changing our current landscaped
one, which looks like the following:
#! /bin/csh -f
# LVC's landscaped filter
#
/bin/cat /usr/local/landscaped.string - /usr/local/reset.string |lpr -Pspareq
All we thought we'd have to do is add -i(# to indent) to the lpr command.
So, I added -i10 and it made the print-out closer to the edge than it had
been. Easy, I thought ... it's working, but I didn't include enough spaces.
So, to be safe, put in -i50. This printed in the exact same spot -i10 did!
(Which is still closer to the edge than regular printing.)
What gives? Any super-sleuth have a suggestion for me? Thanks so much!
Regards,
Sheryl
