I don't know. But I think that is what you are trying to do. Lexmark does offer a ghostscript driver. Binary only, for Linux. Not sure how hard it would be to cross compile ghostscript for Linux under FreeBSD. Lexmark can't provide a pre-linked binary else GPL will contaiminate their copyright. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
