this works file for me:
cat >/etc/printcap.simon <<End-Of-File
lp|line printer:\
	:br#9600:\
	:fc#0177777:\
	:fs#0000002:\
	:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\
	:lp=/dev/whatever:\
	:of=/usr/local/sf:\
	:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
	:sh:\
	:xc#0177777:\
	:xs#0000040:
End-Of-File
cat >sf.c <<End-Of-File
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	register int c, column;

	column = 0;
	while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
		switch (c) {
		case '\t':
			do {
				putchar(' ');
				column++;
			} while (column & 07);
			break;
		case '\b':
			if (column)
				column--;
			putchar('\b');
			break;
		case '\n':
			putchar('\r');
			putchar('\n');
			column = 0;
			break;
		default:
			putchar(c);
			column++;
			break;
		}
	exit(0);
End-Of-File
