I tried their suggested work-around and it only works on Postscript files. By the way I have a postscript printer that is also remote and it works fine without any filters. That is it works for both text and postscipt documents. I am having a problem with a PCL laserjet that is closer to my office. I think for now I will just use enscript and a2ps first on my files. but if anyone comes with a neat idea - I am all ears. /----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Daniel J.
