I'm sorry if I'm being obtuse but: - We are not discussing a `networked laser' as far as I know. The original poster mentioned an HP 2P as I recall, He did Not mention having installed an ethernet card in the back of his laser (though I recall this is available (if expensive) for the 3 series, this card does admittedly come this extra software too, perhaps you're thinking of that ? To quote man printcap: rp str ``lp'' remote printer name argument as I understand it, one can use :rp=lp: & similar as a cascade function to add extra attributes to a basic printcap entry, & that's it. So unless the `text' entry pointed at by the r.h.s of your rp=text generates an ESC & k 2 G it wont do you any good. I feel one of us is missing the point (& I'm not sure who), perhaps we're talking at cross purposes ? Julian S
