Setting up printers on Unix can be a pain. I recommend using the apsfilter or cups port instead of trying to set it up manually. I've used both and have had success with both, but settled upon apsfilter (for no particular reason) although my printer accepts PostScript by default. You'll need to give the group detailed information about your printer instead of the CPU in order to get help related to this issue. Jon
