You don't have to install cap that way. :) Otherwise install /usr/ports/net/netatalk-asun/ and let your FreeBSD box be both an Apple PAP print server and a fileserver. The port is pretty simple, just "make install && make clean" then read the man page for papd(8) carefully. You'll need to download a PPD file from Adobe, or you can snag one out of a Mac's System Folder if you've configured that Mac to print on whatever type of printer you put on the FreeBSD system. Then simply start the daemons, or (for wimps only) reboot: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh start -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
