CUPS installs its binaries into /usr/local/bin, if not compiled with options saying otherwise (in which case it can replace the system's programs). Depending on $PATH, /usr/bin/lpr or CUPS's /usr/local/bin/lpr can be invoked. By explicitely using # /usr/bin/lpr /etc/printcap for example, you can be sure to call the correct program. By the way, using the printer's name as -P parameter for the default printer's name (lp) is not needed. You can also use the environment variable PRINTER to define a standard printer's name instead of lp. > BTW, I have included ulpt0 as a permission in my > /etc/fstab file. Do you mean /etc/devfs.conf, /etc/devfs.rules or /etc/devd.conf, as the file system table doesn't seem to be involved here? :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
