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?
