It is an X server, so you have to start it as a display which doesn't clash with other servers you have running. Try 'Xprt :1'. It has drivers for PostScript and PCL, but I don't know how to make use of it though. There is a client-side library in R6.3 for the XPRINT extension, but no sample clients (I think CDE makes use of it). David
