Why do you have that 'lp' line in there? One of my printers runs off of a remote machine (an SGI, not FreeBSD), and I do not have an 'lp' entry. Or do you need a 'rp' entry to tell the remote server which printer you are talking about? I think it is supposed to default to 'lp,' but give it a try. > I do not get any useful error messages in /var/log/lpd-errs > % tail -f /var/log/lpd-errs [snip] What about entries on the remote print server, freeb15? -- Crist J.
