Question about printing PCL files

[Dan Coutu]

I just caught wind of someone having trouble with printing PCL
files (that's HP's printer control language, I guess PostScript wasn't
good enough for them.)

They are using RH 9, standard CUPS printer server setup. They're
using lp to submit print jobs and trying to specify options
for controlling orientation (landscape/portrait) and pitch
(I'm assuming cpi). The options they specify to lp are being
ignored.

Naturally one wonders if it might be a printer driver issue
or a filter issue. Any thoughts about what to look into to
resolve it? I'd like to be able to help them through this
knothole so that they'll be happy with with their conversion
from SCO Unix to Linux.

Thanks in advance!
