Thanks a lot, Derek ! - You see : I actually know how to create icons on the desktop, but the problem was to find the correct application. Maybe my memory (the one in front of the screen) is like a swiss cheese, 'cause I tried things like lpd, lp, cups etc.. And you know what ? : I thought I'd have to type the full path to the executable. To find it, I (as usual in 8.1) tried to run "locate". Surprisingly it wasn't there. Neither was "slocate", so I found my 8.1 cd's and installed "slocate". Works fine. BTW, how does one find things in 8.2 without it ? Luckily, before I went through all the hazzles of finding a printer-executable, your mail arrives. Thanks again ! Kaj Haulrich Denmark
