What is your printcap entry for the printer 'lp' ? I would guess "nothing" ;') Either, add 'lp' to your first line (viz. "lp|hp|hp1100|hp4050tn:\") or use "lp -d hp" or declare the environment variables "LPDEST" or "PRINTER" - see man lp. I think that using one of these will make it work - I recommend the first option. hth, H To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
