Run GNU file on the file makefile.aml; it is likely coming out as a "Sendmail frozen configuration - version cplot" type, which doesn't match the other file types listed in ifhp.conf. You have a few of options: - add additional type matching rules to catch this as text/PostScript/whatever in ifhp.conf - tweak the "magic" file the file program uses so it comes back as a different type - run a2ps or similar program on it before printing, to make sure it is printable PostScript and not worry about printing setup ============================================================================ John Perkins | University of Wisconsin-Madison Associate Researcher | Department of Computer Science [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1210 W.
