Although this is a guess, maybe WordPerfect wants the entire path to the command? Try this: /usr/bin/lpr -Plp If WordPerfect is doing an exec() to run the command, it will need the entire path. If it's doing a system("lpr -Plp") - it likely wouldn't have. I'm making this guess because WordPerfect can't start up my web browser... which I think is for the same reason... (it's pointing to a shell script instead of an exec'able file.) Try that out before you do a clean install... I *seriously* doubt wiping the disk and doing a total re-install will actually help this problem. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
