Re: When printing, chars are replaced with square graphic char

# /etc/init.d/cupsd stop

# cp /etc/cups/printers.conf /etc/cups/printers.conf.backup

# /etc/init.d/cupsd start

# cupsctl FileDevice=yes

# lpadmin -p myprinter -E -v file:/tmp/printout

Print to the printer.
The captured output will be in /tmp/printout

# chown user:user /tmp/printout



To reinstate the original settings, as the above cupsctl/lpadmin rewrite
printer.conf settings:

# /etc/init.d/cupsd stop

# cp /etc/cups/printers.conf.backup /etc/cups/printers.conf

# /etc/init.d/cupsd start



(Did I get this correct?  I think I made it easier for everybody to
understand?)
