There is a FreeBSD based procedure, however, and since Tiger is BSD-based, I'm trying to work it out. I have the hpijs package installed and am less then thrilled with the control I have over my printer. I may very well be chasing wild geese, and if so, I hope to come to an appreciation of why. Could you elaborate on your I/O remark vis-a-vie Linux, FreeBSD, and Tiger? ...Best, Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
