Printer output spacing is wrong
If the printer output is legible,
but the spacing is wrong, adjust the stty settings:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer_name -o stty='stty_setting'
For each of the situations, adjust the stty setting:
-
If the printer output is double-spaced,
replace 'stty_setting' with
either '-onlcr' or '-tabs'.
-
If there is no left margin and the text runs together,
replace 'stty_setting' with '-tabs'.
-
If the printer output zig-zags down the page,
replace 'stty_setting' with '-onlcr'.
(This is set by default, but you might have cleared it accidentally.)
