Can anyone shed any light on the following problem? TIA Why is my printer chewing off first lines of paragraphs?
I'm running a deskjet portable printer using debian 2.0, specifically lpr and magicfilter I've tried filters deskjet-filter and dj500-filter. a file written with emacs and printed with the following command; cat filename | lpr printed out very nicely , on closer inspection however some of the lines were missing; see below; also with: pr filename | lpr thanks AC Below is the text file I was trying to print here it is: (quotes from Joseph Cornell) Stage 1. Awaken Enthusiasm ----------------------------- " It is important to choose first activities carefully with sensitive awareness to the group's special needs." Stage 2. Focus Attention ------------------------------ " The attention stage needn't last long, 5-15 minutes is plenty. The important thing is to be intenseley aware of the groups level of enthusiasm and receptivity - are they ready for more sensitive experiences yet, if not ask - what games can I use to raise their their enthusiasm and focus their attention." Stage 3. Direct Experience -------------------------------- ### the line that follows this didn't reach the paper######## " Direct experience games involve people directly in nature. Shutting off peoples sense of sight makes them more alert to information from other senses and so helps them experience their surroundings in fresh ways. Direct experience awakens a sense of wonder. " Stage 4. Share Inspiration ---------------------------------- ##### the line that follows this didn't reach the printer or paper#### " Sharing reinforces the players' sense of wonder and draws the group together. The simple activities of the inspiration stage also bring a sense of closure and wholeness to the day. " #######all the other lines worked perfectly#### thank you for taking the time to read this.
