However, the installation process should have tailored a collection of config files - actualy just magicfilter scripts - and installed them in /usr/local/libexec/magicfilter. You want to use /usr/local/libexec/magcifilter/ljet4l-filter as the value of if in your printcap. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
