It depends on what lines you have in /etc/syslog.conf. You would want to check /var/log/lpd-errs, and you may also see the lines in /var/log/messages. If /var/log/lpd-errs does not exist, then you would need to create it before syslog will start logging to it. >also we can print header pages to the local printer but >not the network printers whose queues are on the same host. >any ideas please? If you are saying that you can *not* get a header page on the remote-printer (and you have that specified by 'rm=' in your printcap file), then there is probably some setting that you need to change on that printer. Does the printer have some menu-based command panel on it? Some of them might allow for a web-based configuration. Different printers will call this different things. Some might call it a banner page, some will call it a separator page (or a job separator page). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
