1. Set up a shell environment and then rip out ALL of the environment options. Set path to: /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin 2. get a PDF file and invoke it with EXACTLY the same options as you see in the command. 3. Curse and swear when you find out that it does not work. 4. Read the man page, find the right combination of stuff. 5. save the current /etc/ifhp.conf file as /etc/ifhp.conf.orig 6. Edit the /etc/ifhp.conf file, set the pdf_converter option to the right value. 7. Print a job and see if it works Patrick ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
