Last time I did it, it took care of driver selection and /etc/printcap configuration quite well and automagically, with a shell "setup" script that only asked a few questions that needed my input. It's in ports (/usr/ports/print/apsfilter), and you might be able to find out it your printer would work with it at www.apsfilter.org (I'm pretty sure it would....) It's nice software, IMHO, and who knows, maybe Andreas doesn't yet have a postcard from your location.... Kevin Kinsey
