How should I proceed now? Install enscript so you can generate postscript files. Then read the ijs documentation to figure out what flags to feed it to make produce output for your printer. You can test this by doing something like: enscript -p - /etc/motd | gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- [ijs options] > /dev/ulpt0 If things are done right, you should get a copy of /etc/motd on the printer. After that, you need to set up a filter file and printcap. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
