Danny, Thanks for your response. I have a Compaq Deskpro 2000 at work that I recently installed FreeBSD on. Just about all of the printers we have at work are HP LaserJets with Jet Direct cards in them. I was just trying to get my FreeBSD machine to print remotely to an HP 4000 just outside my cubicle. I have already received a response from someone else who also recommends using apsfilter. I'll try this tomorrow. Is apsfilter hard to configure? I know on some distros of Linux, remote printing is one of the easiest things to set up. You just insert the IP address in the remost host name field and you're done.
