I use "lp -s -dclj2550 -oraw". You'll need to adapt that to the name of your printer. BTW, I've got the following variables set in /etc/make.conf, so that the base system will not override the cups binaries after the next buildworld: CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=true NO_LPR=true > Next question: How to get OpenOffice to recognize all the printer > attributes? Spadmin doesn't seem to want to deal with PPD files. Since I don't use openoffice, I can't help you here.
