Hello,
This is 100% reproducible for me. I have checked that:
man -t ascii | lpr
works, and so does:
a2ps -2 --borders no ~/.bashrc
ie. both man -t and a2ps are working OK. But when I combine the two, as in:
man -t ascii | a2ps -2 --borders no
the printer spews out blank pages until I stop cups, empty the spool,
restart cups, then restart the printer. I have checked that the spooled
file is OK by viewing it in GV. I have the following delegation set up
in /etc/a2ps.cfg:
Delegation: Groff roff:ps \
eval `grog -Tps '$f'` | fixps #?V!!-q! | #{del.psselnup}
I don't know exactly when this bug was introduced, but I have used this
exact method of printing man pages for a long time previously without
problems.
Hope you can help,
