Install cupsys-bsd (or something like that), you don't need to have the lpd running (if it asks) but you need the command line replacements. Most programs call 'lpr -P printername' for printing. You can also reconfigure your apps to use 'kprinter' instead of 'lpr'. Acrobat does this here and it works perfectly. -- Jens Benecke ········ http://www.hitchhikers.de/ - Europas Mitfahrzentrale Microsoft says it's "irresponsible" to expect them to get a patch out for a critical flaw within "a few days". -- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/columns/security/noarch.asp
