Hi all, I solved my problem myself. The solution was that the x11 apps do obviously not use the same $PATH than I do in the shell. After the build of release 4.8 I got new versions of lpr, etc. in the /usr/bin directory and they were not able to produce output, because I am using cups. That the printing did not work even before the upgrade is probably another problem wich has been solved by the upgrade to the 4.8 release. ciao, Stefan --On Friday, April 11, 2003 10:27:43 +0200 Stefan Farrenkopf <sfarren@gwdg.de> wrote: > Hi, > > after I upgraded my ports with portupgrade -ra my system lost the ability > to print from x11 applications. > > some information about my system: > 4.8 release now > (but the printing was broken two days before the upgrade.
