I believe that is a normal/standard message. Make sure you have a printer setup in /etc/printcap with the right filter(s) etc. you can test the printer directly by writing directly to the port (cat filename >/dev/lp0) i can't help much beyond that, i only setup priting in linux once, and ever since my lpr has never wroked, and yet i can print from some apps like netscape staroffice and kEDIT (but lpr, gnome-notepad and others fail silently) *shrug* nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 12:12am up 178 days, 12:28, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.01, 1.04
