The print spooler is running ok. What dies is the HARDWARE print server attached to the HP printer on the parallel port. The only significant difference in the control files is the path, and the one without path does work ok, so I suppose the second one should be also without path! Or not? Is the path really needed? Is this a bug in lprng or in my configuration? I will give "safe_chars=/" a try ... Thanks, Richard -- Richard Ems ... e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
