My personal rule of thumb is: wait three days, then look at your prior message. Did you provide all the information you had? Were you polite, or might your earlier message have inadvertently pissed off people? Is it something that there are other resources available to solve? IMHO, most unanswered mail falls in one of these three categories. Now, I haven't seen your earlier reply; I spent the last week in NYC, and deleted my -questions queue unread. I will ask two things: 1) Are you using apsfilter (/usr/ports/print/apsfilter)? This has solved *all* of my printing problems! 2) Have you used the other FreeBSD resources to solve your problem? If you're not sure, check out http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~dispatch/bsd-self-help.html for a FreeBSD problem-solving resource tutorial. ==ml To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
