Caleb I inserted the line from my printcap file that works for me and I have the same printer hp4050tn. cwlp2 is the printer name. the rest is pretty self explanatory. Insert the printer name into the host file along with the ip address you assigned the printer on my network. you may want to clear your current spool directory if you have been sending and they haven't been printing. I do it by deleting the files but somebody may know how to do it manually. I use the same line to print to on both my 2.2.8 and 3.3.4 machines . Hope this helps Remember caps and smalls are inportant in unix. check to make sure you didn't miss any typing errors lp|postscript|PostScript|local line printer:\ :lp=:rm=cwlp2:rp=RAW:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sf:\ :sh:mx#0: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hope that after I die, people will say of me : " That guy sure owed me a lot of money." -JH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
