Maybe you're experiencing a caching problem? I would guess that as you stated there is a temporary file, this should not happen (in relation to Firefox) there should at least be an error message. Did you try to enter the full command into xpdf's printing dialog, e. g. "/usr/local/bin/lpr -P<printer>", just in case the .xpdfrc setting hasn't been read upon program start? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
