I'm running FreeBSD-3.x on both. In another state or in another room, its the same for any networked printer. See the man pages for lpd(8), printcap(5), and particularly hosts.lpd(5) (because you really want to restrict who can print on your printer). The above is assuming the printer(s) in question are connected directly to a FreeBSD host. If they are networked printers with their own ethernet cards then you'll have to restrict access in your firewall. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
