I'm support several laser TCP/IP laser printers on our Windows network. We've added a LINUX server with an application that prints documents as plain text with 66 lines per page. Everything LINUX prints -- on each of the different model printers -- prints a couple of lines on the second page.
The LINUX application vendor tells me there are no form feeds in the documents they're printing.
As a test I've created a text file using Notepad with line numbers in it -- 1 through 90. When I print it from Windows I get about 73 lines on the first page.
This seems to me like it's not a setting in the printer -- since the printer works ok from Windows -- and that it's something in the printer settings on the LINUX machine. Any ideas what should be changed to get 66 lines per page to print on LINUX print jobs?
I do notice that printing from Notepad is in a slightly smaller font than the results of printing from LINUX. Maybe that's what's affecting it.
I'm an application developer with good Windows experience. I worked with SCO UNIX from 1987-1995 or so, so I'm not completely lost in LINUX.
Thanks for any ideas.
