Hi Hernan,
Thank you for your info, but the command ' man printcap |
/etc/filter.pcl > /dev/lp1 ' didn't work. I got a permission denied
error. With you and Bob's hint I tried ' man printcap|lpr ' it works.
Printing perfectly without any stepping at all.
Thank you.
Alan

There is a filter for avoid the star-stepping effect :
/etc/filter.pcl

man printcap | /etc/filter.pcl > /dev/lp1
