What is in the files: db.hp920 hp920 You might run file *hp920* before you try to read them. Maybe one of them is your print filter. I don't know anything about yellowdog linux and I don't know what print filtering system you have and I cannot find your printer in the ghostscript compatability page. So, I doubt I'll be able to offer you a specific solution. You may need to educate yourself about print filters before this problem is resolved. Joel
