hiho, ok, you could try "/etc/init.d/lpr restart" if the lpr-skript support restart. (don't know, i use lprng). you can kill lpr manually and start it again. but these are no solutions, IMHO. first you need a stable connection between the printer and the computer. did you play with bios-settings for the parallel port or with tunelp for the lp-device ? ciao -ap btw: i switched to lprng, because lpr + magicfilter + epson stylus color = no way or printing garbage. the reason is unknown. with lprng no problems so far. ___________________________________________________________________ Andreas Piesk [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp fingerprint: 23CB A7E2 2E53 373C DBCD 8EFC 7777 61C1 ___________________________________________________________________ What goes up, must come down.
