I thought I would add one note that everyone else seems to be forgetting. Your Mac is most likely printing to that printer via Appletalk, not IP. Your print server attached to that printer (which is IN the printer in many cases) must support Unix LPD services over IP for you to be able to print to it from FreeBSD. Otherwise, you might have to look at compiling Appletalk support into the FreeBSD kernel and using some of the tools found in the ports collection. I have no idea wether this would actually work or not, since I've never tried it. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
