I have been told that you can use the line printer demon to access the printer. I went through all the bs uncommenting out the original printcap file inserting the directory. ok all this worked also unhasshed the lp statement in the config file. All this is at the defaults. Ok the system rebooted and everything seemed ok untill i tried to print a file out. I used lpr filename, the file went into the spooler and was qued. Ok the printer fired up and I thought it was goin to print, but alas it only printed blank pages. If anyone else has gone through this I would appreciate your wisdom. Ohh the system is intel based pc. Thanks in adv. jones@taz.flnet.com
