What were you trying to do?
I was trying to print a text file with lpr.
What's wrong:
Only the first four lines of the file appear on the printer.
The first line is left-justified, the second one is moved to
the right by what appears to be one tab stop, the third is
moved to the right by 2 tabs stops, and the fourth is moved
to the right by 3 tab stops.
What should have happened:
The text file should be printed. No fuss, no muss. It was
made with Emacs with auto-fill-mode turned on at 66 columns
width. The file should print normally.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Neither the stock questions nor the LPR man page provided any
help.
