The printer is a Cannon BJ-100 but the problem is more basic than that. I guess I need to do some poking around in some configuration files somewhere because lpd is not installed. I am using the lpr command to send files to the spooler and get all kind of complaints. Since I had to install from floppy, I installed only the binaries, manpages, proflib, and info sections. I am also new to FreeBSD and it has been so long since I have used a unix-like system that you might as well consider me new to it as well. Should I be using a command other than lpr? Can anyone here give me a hand with the proper configuration? Thanks! George Bonser grep@cris.com
