Joseph: back to the problem with the HP LaserJet 4 with PostScript. I thought I already sent you a copy of my /etc/printcap and my PS output filter. If you didn't receive them, let me know. If you did receive them and they're not working, let me know. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Lab, Boulder Colorado USA Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
