Each machine's Netscape needs to know where to print (what /etc/printcap entry to use). If you have them defined as `lp', you probably won't have to change anything within Netscape. > > Does Netscape print in postscript, or bitmap, or what?

Install the apsfilter port on arnold (the machine that is physically connected to the Canon printer). After installation, arnold should be able to print text, graphics, and postscript files without user intervention, i.e., you won't have to think about what you're trying to print anymore. :-) > > > Leif Neland > leifn@image.dk > > --- > |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 > |Internet: leifn@image.dk -- Regards, Norman C.
