As Tim mentioned, the W2K machine has to be in /etc/hosts.lpd, and of course you have to have lpd running (lpd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, or you can start it manually as root). I haven't used lpr from W2K, I just created an lpr "port" for the printer driver and had it use that port. -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
