Hi,

I have my printing running OK in X. But in console mode, I'm running into a problem.

I get stair-stepped incomplete printouts when I "cat textfile >/dev/lp1"

You may try "unix2dos textfile" then "cat textfile > /dev/lp1" unix2dos which is an alias to "recode lat1:ibmpc" will add the needed carriage return and you won't have the stair-stepped print, I guess.
