Garance, rp=lp fixed that problem but something else showed up... On Stargate I get the following: Stargate# lpc status all lp: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 3 entries in spool area waiting for queue to be enabled on P3R-272.Tom.Parquette.name Stargate# But on P3R-272 I get: (aps1 is a Lexmark definition I never finished) P3R-272# lpc status all lp: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries in spool area printer idle aps1: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries in spool area printer idle P3R-272# Taking the messages at face value, it appears "lp" is enabled on P3R-272. The searches I did not the message in the archives did not turn up anything. Any ideas? Thanks...
