Run apsfilter again and when you are given the option of assigning a name, just give it lp, which is the default anyway. With multiple printers you'd have to use other names of course. In my case, I just always give the complete command - lpr -Php or lpr -Pepson, and so on, you get the pic. You should be okay rerunning apsfilter and nameing the printer lp. -- Chip W www.wiegand.org chip@wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
