What's the whole entry? The printer name that is used by lpr -P is the first line of the entry in /etc/printcap, like the first line here: lp|local line printer:\ :lp=:\ :sh:\ :mx#0:\ :rm=mynetworkprinter:\ :rp=raw:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: The rm= entry is either a hostname or IP address of the network printer. Note also that there is no \ at the end of the last line. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
