Text files on Unix systems contain lines that end with “newline” characters, as 

opposed to MS-DOS and Windows-related operating systems that end with a 

carriage return followed by a linefeed. Most printers require a carriage 

return/linefeed pair at the end of each line, making it necessary for some translation 

to be done before Unix text files can be printed on most printers. 

 

For this purpose, you can define two “printers” for the same printer port, one that 

prints to the port itself, and one that prints to the port name with

 

_TEXT

 added to the 

name. Files printed to the second port will be translated so that the printer has the 

carriage return/linefeed pairs that it needs. 

 

For example, you could define a printer hp5l that prints to port PS-142634-P1, and 

a printer hp5lt that prints to port PS-142634-P1_TEXT. Your graphics files could 

then be printed to the hp5l printer, and “raw” text files could be printed to the hp5lt 

printer.
