In /usr/ports/sysutils is a port of LPRng. You might try "make fetch" then taking the downloaded source over to the Solaris 2.6 system, build and install it there (assuming you have a C compiler on the Solaris system). Might be able to find pre-built Solaris 2.6 binaries of LPRng somewhere on the net. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
