Thanks all for your suggestions. I found that in Etch, the standard gs-gpl okiibm driver works great with apsfilter. Tell apsfilter quality high, mono and I get 120x144 very nicely. I don't know why this didn't work under Sarge. The printer uses a paralell interface and is located beside my PII computer that I use as an ssh client box. The PII only has an 850 MB drive so to save disk space, I'm using plain old lpd instead of lprng. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
