I had no idea this would turn out to be such a big deal. Thanks to all the responses, there have been quite a few. Here are a few notes below...

What > options does that provide. Actually, the above mentioned apps are what I used, first vi, then tried to print from the command line, no luck.

I used apsfilter to set up my printer, it set up two filters during the install process. I tried both, the first won't print all the text in the above mentioned files, the second (raw1) does stair-stepping, so that may need to be fixed, but it started to print the actual mark-up that I wrote. This may be what I need to fix to print this stuff. -- Chip > <mike > -- > Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> > http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
