Try copying a postscript file directly to the printer (skip apsfilter and all of lpr), and see if you still get a system crash. That will help to point to where the problem might be. If this is a networked printer, then you'll probably want to use lpr but skip apsfilter. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
