Hi All, I am running a fairly old version of FreeBSD (4.2) on an even older machine that uses a plain X server (I mostly use it for doing LaTeX stuff and don't need anything fancy). It is a Pentium 100, 98Mb RAM, 4.2Gb HD. I have a consistent problem when printing with it. With most files I get: lpr: : copy file is too large Broken pipe Below is how the HD is partitioned: > cat fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1f /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1g /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 > df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 49583 30734 14883 67% / /dev/ad0s1f 1984708 218044 1607888 12% /home /dev/ad0s1g 1829986 1166384 517204 69% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 19815 8188 10042 45% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Clearly /var is too small so is there some way I can set the spooler to use /home? Or can I send the Postscript file directly to the printer (which has it's own hard drive), in which case would the system still need to create a spool file before download? Thanks Alan PS Just saving the dumb question for last. How do I set the lpd service to start on boot?
