Whenever I do an lpr <filename> as root or non root user I get the following error message: lpr: connect: no such file or directory jobs have been queued but daemon cannot be started The lprtest command does work, however. Also, the jobs are being queued and the printer is on and connected to the PC at all times during my testing. I have read and following the instructions in the handbook.ascii file in /usr/share/doc/handbook directory of my FreeBSD 4.3 installation. My printer is a Canon BJ4100 Colour Inkjet printer attached to LPT1: There are no other LPT ports in the computer. Another issue is regarding PPP. I've configured it using the handbook.ascii file and it seems to turn on but I am not clear how I can get the user version of PPP (iij PPP) to dial my service provider. PPP doesnt seem to dial anyone when I type PPP -auto uunet And Yes, my modem is connected and turned on at all times. It also works when I dial my ISP through Win95. Can you shed any light on this please? Thanks. Shazad ================================================================= "I've heard the Truth.
