I use CUPS and I like it, because it's so easy. Cups has an easy printer install/add wizard, that works for my HP LaserJet printer. There's a selection item for HP Deskjet too, which should work for you. Be aware that cups installs its own lpr related executables in /usr/local/bin, which may clash with the ones the base system installs in /usr/bin. You can remove the ones in /usr/bin, and for a next buildworld, have CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes NO_LPR=yes in /etc/make.conf. Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
