The best way to get help from this list is to run FreeBSD. :-) JOHN MUELLER types: > Dear BSD, > I just ran the printer cap man page for debian potato, and it says that > freeBSD 4.2 has the rules for configuring my HP Laser Jet Series 2 > printer.

That has filters for the ljet2 printers, and instructions on setting it up. If you don't want to install FreeBSD - well, it's your loss. But you might be able to find a magicfilter RPM (or whatever debian uses) that will do the trick. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
