I thank everyone who replied; now i have the printer up and running. Im facing a new problem now: When i try to print a file on the printer from a remote machine, i get a message on the NetBSD console: protocol screwup The remote machine, on doing a lpq shows an active printing job and the following message: Warning, no daemon present The spooled file on the NetBSD machine only shows some numbers, the name of the remote machine, the file name and the user id (on the remote m/c). Nothing gets printed and when i try to remove the lp entry i get the following messages on the remote machine from the NetBSD m/c: : cannot dequeue XXXX (where XXXX is a number in conjunction with the name of the m/c) : XXXX dequeued What am i doing wrong. thanks bhiksha
