I think I've solved the problem by changing the mkfile from: src/plan9.mak: src/unixansi.mak /sys/src/cmd/gs/contrib9.mak to src/plan9.mak: src/unixansi.mak /sys/src/cmd/gs/contrib9.mak\ src/contrib.mak in addition to adding okiibm to the DRIVERS section. Now 'gs -h' includes okiibm, and a remotely-performed lp command has completed without errors; when I get home at 6 I'll be able to see if it worked or not. John
