However if you print now from OpenOffice it should print into the PostScript file. That file is printable with lpr. You can make a small script that you will put into the .openoffice or something like that which will execute these commands simultaneously. Look for the solution on the net. You are not the first guy who is trying to print from the OpenOffice running FreeBSD. Cheers, Predrag
