I guess that doesn't say much, but you're all : still really good. I'm just trying to point out that not only is Linux : free, but the tech support is also both free and reliable! Tell your friends! :) I happen to completly agree. BTW, are you going to the NCLUG meeting coming up? I know I keep saying it, but I think I might actually make it to this one... : # Local HP LaserJet 6L : lj|printer|default|hp|laserjet|HPLJ6L:\ : :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj6l:\ : :mx#0:\ : :lp=/dev/lp1:\ : :if=/var/spool/lpd/hplj6l/nostairs:\ : :sh: I worry about that mx line. If that hash is taken as a comment, there aren't enough colons on the line. Find out what that does. Finally, the stairstep pattern can be solved a little "cleaner" with sed. The stairstep is because everything but UNIX expects a carriage return after every linefeed. If you feed the line without sending the imaginary carriage back, you get stairstepping. A shorter filter is out there, but I'll have to go make it and get back to you... -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Michael J.
