Hi,

We have a printer setup in Cups 1.4.1 (Ubuntu 9.10).  We are using the following PPD file:

*% Product Version Information
*Product: "(hp LaserJet 4200)"
*Product: "(hp LaserJet 4200L)"
*ModelName: "HP LaserJet 4200 Series"
*ShortNickName: "HP LaserJet 4200 Series"
*NickName:  "HP LaserJet 4200 Series Postscript (recommended)"
*PSVersion: "(3010.107) 0"
*Manufacturer: "HP"


When we try to print something that has TAB characters, the tabs are ignored.  This results in either bad spacing or in some cases text overwrites.  Can anyone suggest any options that i can add to correct this issue?  printers.conf follows:
