Thanx for everyones help, go figure it now works, I dropped the file from 
Konqueror onto the printer icon and it printed with AbiWord formatting, I 
then went into Abi Word and as someone else stated it printed the last page 
only?? But I can request whichever page  want and it will print that page 
out. If anyone knows why Abi Word will only print the last page I am 
courious. I am using "lpr" and I have an Epson Stylus Color 600
