Ron - you'll want to install a suitable print filter (the if= line in Mike's printcap). Install something you like from the ports tree. I personally prefer apsfilter which does a lot of the mind-numbing trivial work for you. Run the setup script it provides. I believe on the 3 port model the queue name should be one of these. LPT1_PASSTHRU or LPT1_TEXT LPT2_PASSTHRU or LPT2_TEXT COM1_PASSTHRU or COM1_TEXT Have fun. -- "Le motd juste."
