Here's one that works for me: rjt: argname = -rjt device = rjtdev rjtdev: header = never trailer = never feed = never backend = /usr/bin/lprbe -pserver=labauto -pqueue=lpt1 Note that the argname has to have "-rjt" not just "rjt". Otherwise you have to say "print rjt" instead of "print -rjt". Don't forget to su and do a "print -rr" to activate the qconfig changes. The machine that I'm remote printing on is called "labauto" and until yesterday it had an HP LaserJet on it. Today it has an IBM 4216-031 postscript printer. Both work quite well with EROFF (Elan computer products). -- Ed Clarke acheron!clarke
