Hi 

I am a complete newcomer to unix and have just created a dual-boot between 
FreeBSD 5.2.1 and Win2K (each on a separate hard drive). Now I'm trying to get 
my HP 1160 Laserjet to print dvi files. I used the filter shown in the 
handbook. The filter creates a link between /dev/fd/0 and a temporary (?) file 
they call hpdf$$.dvi. When I try to print a dvi file, I get the message, 
"Permission denied. Cannot symlink to /dev/fd/0" The permissions on /dev/fd/0 
are: crw-rw-rw-. The filter is supposed to print "Cannot symlink to /dev/fd/0" 
if the ln operation fails. My message differs in that I also get "Permission 
denied."

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?

Thanks

Bob Beckett
