There is also no space between the P and the name, so the command line you would want appears like this: lpr -Prlp /etc/printcap, or lpr -PRemote Printer /etc/printcap (Not sure if the space in the name might cause problems). Also, not sure if this was just a typo, but it should be :rm=Jib_Jack: not :rm==Jib_Jack:. -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n. Someone who has been educated past his/her level of intelligence.
