I'm now trying to set the thing up so it works across the network; I *think* it's listening on port 515, and I get the following in my /sys/lib/lp/log/lpdaemonl file when I try to print from my linux box: Oct 22 22:07:50 [00185] -dqueue -M<linuxbox> -ujohn Oct 22 22:07:50 [00185] read error; lost connection If I try to print locally, I get the following error: cpu% lp -d pcclone /sys/lib/lp/log/lp* echo: write error: i/o error It seems that not too many people are printing, especially not with a parallel-port dot-matrix, but does anyone have any ideas? Thanks John
