Looks like you're sending postscript files from the FreeBSD machine to the MacOS machine. Pick one such postscript file. How does it start out? The first line should start with the four characters: %!PS If it does not, then add those four characters and see what happens. If that doesn't work, then try sending the job using lpr -l instead of a plain 'lpr' command. That's a lowercase-L that I'm adding there. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
