I have two questions .
1. Where do I put my setup for root. eg how I want my prompt to be displayed etc. Individual users seem to have a .bash_profile but root doesnt seem to have one created.
2. I have set up a network printer. I have seen that to print to a printer you use lp -dprintername -o nobanner -s
When I do this it does print to the printer, however, the copy of the document that gets printed (which is a pure text document) prints the first line and then the rest is pretty much off the page. For example:
A document that starts the following way normally;
AAAAAAAA
*********
bbbbb
ccccc
dddd
Prints this way;
AAAAAAA
..........................................................................**********
(ignor dots but this newsgroup doesnt accept long list of spaces)
In other words the title and then the next line is all the way to the right and then all the rest of the text is gone.
I know that this has something to do with carage returns etc. But these are simple text documents with carage returns. I do understand that there needs to be new lines at the end of each line or it will just run off the page.
Can anyone give me any advice on this? All ever want to do on this system is print text documents. (there is no X so what would be the point of printing anything else.)
