No need to do that. Basically, the default options should be fine. However, _some_ programs require you to set paper format or margins. For actual _printing_, there is no need for any configuration. Programs will address the default printing queue (lp, or whatever $PRINTER says). If your printer is "Deskjet", add setenv PRINTER Deskjet to /etc/csh.cshrc for systemwide use (all users), or whatever your default shell is. You can also use login.conf to set this environmental variable. I suggest to do so because if _not_ done, you'd have to add "-P Deskjet" in too many places. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
