Printing from Mozilla is a matter of luck more than anything (either xprint or its interface to Mozilla sucks). Generally, when using lpr directly, you might need to pass the appropriate job option, like lpr -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble file.ps lpr -o Duplex=DuplexTumble file.ps > As a secondary concern, although I've set this printer to default under > CUPS it doesn't seem to be the default for lpq or Mozilla... will this > change upon a reboot or have I missed something? Also, make sure you have the cupsys-bsd package installed. It provides versions of the BSD tools like lpr that use the CUPS configuration. -- Got Backup? Jabber: Shadowdancer at jabber.fsinf.de
