[techtalk] Printer stairstepping

[Jennifer Tippens]

Hi Harry,
I checked and he does have CRLFTRANS=1 in his textonly.cfg.  Funny thing is that any of his KDE stuff (KDEmail, Knews, etc.) stair-steps also and I was not under the impression (but, hey, I could be wrong) that these were all text files.  In fact, the only thing that prints correctly is netscape (and "Hey, Anatoli, print it through Netscape" aint gonna cut it) 
Thanks,
-Jen
