Hello,

	Does anyone have a printcap entry for an epson lq1050?  I have
been having great difficulty in configuring this beast.  I am currently
using the settings from the LA75 configured via lprsetup.  But I have
been having problems.  When I print any text file, most of the file will
print (sometimes), but the last part will not.  But, if I wait three to
four minutes, the rest of the file will sometimes print out.  I have
tried changing the fs and xs flags in the printcap entry, but that doesn't
seem to work.  I would really like to be able to print my .dvi files (using
Beebe's dvieps, dvie72 or a hacked dvitos drivers.  FYI, this is a 24 pin
printer with a wide carriage.  I am currently using 8.5 x 11 paper, but
I want to put in the wide stuff which has a tear off at 8.5 inches.  Any
help or pointers to archives of printcap entries would be appreciated.

This printer is hooked up the /dev/tty00 on a DECsystem 3100.
