Although it is for Linux, the document "How to setup the printer using AppleTalk" is generically UNIX enough to assist in printing from a FreeBSD box to an AppleTalk-connected printer. The URL for this document is http://www.giub.unibe.ch/~eugster/appleprint.html You will also need netatalk, which compiles for FreeBSD without difficulty. I used 1.4b2. You can find it at http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/ Hope this helps! dw -- A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers font to be sent to beneficiaries and senders of UCE/SPAM. @ mcs.net Wishes are like dishes.
