Add these to your /etc/printcap and toss this filter in your spool dir. ex. /var/spool/lp1 Filter will filter it to print without staircase effect. filter2 will give great printing from netscape and other programs under X windows which use postscript. You have to install ghostscript for this to work. I think it's in the ap package.
