And of course my printer's resolution is 80x66. So when I print through lpr lynx formats the page to 128 columns, then the printer filter wraps it and makes the printed output look terrible. Prefered solution would be to check printcap for pw#?? (may not be possible) and fall back to specifying the line width in /etc/lynx.cfg. Probably the option should be extended for width and height. -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux tinkertoy 2.3.37 #2 Fri Jan 14 18:10:26 PST 2000 i586 unknown Versions of the packages lynx depends on: ii debconf 0.2.79 Debian configuration management system ii libc6 2.1.2-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data ii slang1 1.3.9-1 The S-Lang programming library - runtime version. ii zlib1g 1.1.3-5 compression library - runtime ^^^ (Provides virtual package libz1) --- Begin /etc/lynx.cfg (modified conffile) # # # # # # # # # # # # # # STARTFILE:http://playdough.mentasm.org/ # # # HELPFILE:file://localhost/usr/share/doc/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html # DEFAULT_INDEX_FILE:http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/MetaIndex.html # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ALWAYS_ON:FALSE LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE:FALSE # # # # # # TRUSTED_EXEC:none # # # ALWAYS_TRUSTED_EXEC:none # # TRUSTED_LYNXCGI:none # # # # # # # # # # # # # USE_MOUSE:TRUE # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # DEFAULT_EDITOR:/usr/bin/sensible-editor # # # # # # # # # # # PRINTER:Local network printer:lpr -Plp %s:FALSE # # # # # # # NO_DOT_FILES:FALSE # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # MINIMAL_COMMENTS:TRUE # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP:/etc/mime.types # PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP:.mime.types # XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND: # # # # # # # GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/etc/mailcap # PERSONAL_MAILCAP:.mailcap # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # COLOR:0:lightgray:black COLOR:1:blue:black COLOR:2:yellow:blue COLOR:3:green:black COLOR:4:magenta:black COLOR:5:blue:black COLOR:6:red:black COLOR:7:magenta:cyan # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # --- End /etc/lynx.cfg
