Hi Kathy, I hope you have the ports collection installed. Here is what you can do. cd /etc cp printcap printcap.old cd /usr/ports/print/apsfilter make install clean (You MUST be online!) cd /usr/local/apsfilter ./SETUP With your intelligence press enter, go ahead and answer all Qs intelligently. You'll be able to print in about 5 minutes. Lemme know what printer you have. A good guy sent me some nice setup for some printer and if you have same then I may send a copy to you. You can have NETATALK use the printer on Windows via FreeBSD as long as the Mac prints to the printer whose output points to a Windows machine.
