HERE'S ANOTHER ONE FOR THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS MONTHLY POST

I'm almost 100% sure that your problem is due to having an LP
interface script that doesn't have an 8-bit "raw" passthru option.

I've posted our "hplaser" lp interface script a few times in the past
(recently, in fact). With ours installed, you say "lp -oraw file".
Rather than post the script again, I've made it available
from our public uucp area.

ANONYMOUS UUCP
--------------
We maintain a limited anonymous uucp capability.  You will need
a 2400 baud modem, or a Telebit Trailblazer.  1200 baud is not supported.

For 2400 baud, here is a sample "Systems" entry for uucp:

jetroff Wk2200-0300,Sa,Su ACU 2400 12013898963 "" \d\r\d ogin: jetuucp

For Telebit, use:

jetroff Wk2200-0300,Sa,Su ACU 19200 12013898963 "" \d\r\d ogin: jetuucp

To get a list of the available files use this command:

uucp jetroff!~jetuucp/file_list wherever_you_want
OR:
uucp jetroff!/usr/jetroff/1.1/file_list wherever_you_want

NOTE: This telephone number is to be used only between 10PM and 3AM
Eastern time during the week.  If it is abused, we will remove the
anonymous uucp access. Only 2400 baud and Telebit are supported.
