I have networked a PC to my NeXTstation at home using FTP softwares PC/TCP. I am having problems printing to my NeXT printer from Microsoft windows 3.1 because windows postscript interpreter likes to put a Ctrl-D at the begining and ending of each file it sends out. If I print to a file and remove the first ctrl-d and then send it to the printer it prints just fine. I found a reference to unix printing in a readme file in windows that said if I put the following statement in my win.ini file under the printer definition it would remove the ctrl-d's "CtrlD=0" but this does not seem to work. Has anyone had this problem before or know what I am doing wrong? Can I put a filter in my /etc/printcap to strip any ctrl-d's out of the print stream?
