It's an lpd server for Microsoft. AFAIK, it won't affect other printing. > or, do i have any other options if i want to print on that printer? Use Samba, but that's overkill for this.

Might be faster that way; probably wouldn't be with that printer. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
