... HELP HELP ... TROUBLE PRINTING WITH eroff ...

[David Quarles]

I need some help on getting eroff to print the text (all of it) from a
regular text file on UNIX.

I have the book "Preparing documents with UNIX" by Brown et.al. but just
cannot figure out how to get the text to print continuously from page to
page.  This book covers troff and nroff but not 'eroff'.  I had hoped
there would be something in it that would help.

In talking to a couple of others at this site, this 'eroff' is
apparently third party software for UNIX.

What happens is that several lines get left off at the bottom of a page 
and then the second page does not have the missing lines but has just   
somehow skipped text.  ALL I WANT TO DO IS TO TAKE A TEXTFILE AND PRINT 
WITH eroff (for our HP Laserjet).  This program eroff does a very nice  
job with margins and font styles.

ANY  IDEAS  OUT  THERE ??   ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
