Hi, first of all, you used that bad letter. Just call it X. Never add an s at the end of the other word. Some people are real allergic to this.

Evidently I messed something up and now I get the following: You must have some printing system installed on the machine. I would recommend CUPS for this purpose. Go to a console and enter this: pkg_info | grep cups You should get then some output like this: cups-base-1.3.3 Common UNIX Printing System libgnomecups-0.2.2_4,1 Support library for gnome cups admistration This error messages are too general for me. > hostname: not found > dd: not found > Couldn't create cookie > > I haven't a clue as to what is wrong, would someone help PLEASE? If you have CUPS, you can use a web browser to administer the printer. What kind of rpinter do you have installed? Erich
