The print spooler has to send carriage returns (as it would to most other printers) unless the application knows the laserjet positioning codes. Under sysV, that would be "stty onlcr", but I don't know about BSD. There have been several ascii->postscript filters posted to the net that work nicely with the 890. In postscript mode the carriage returns are not needed. Les Mikesell
